Got a busy week ahead, so I'm stretching the Illustration Friday topic, "Carry," just a bit.
This is a doodle I did a few weeks ago. Her name is Clara. She's a chick-carrying-chick.
Apart from the skinny legs, this could have been me - and I would have been sharing my disgust at being made to wear a pretty dress with a bow with my nesting friend. My hair was always described as a bird's nest - or rats' tails! (And I always wanted to be called Clara too!) Axxx
Haha, she looks exactly like a Clara. And I love the giant bow. (And she may even look a bit like Clara Bow.) The look on her face is hilarious! Love the hair and the chicks! Very adorable and fun.
Funny how the mind associates things...and often unconsciously. Hahaha. Clara Bow. That's probably exactly why that name popped into my head when I drew her. Thanks for stopping by, Cindy!
Oh that is just DARLING!!! Her little chick is so precious! HI THERE ELIZABETH! I just got off of my busy week with a high school friend staying with me for the week. NOW, back to the drawing board! HAVE FUN! Anita
Super cute chicks...all three of them!!! Clara is absolutely adorable...I wonder what she's thinking about?! The little one sitting down I just want to squeeze, such a sweet puffball, and the one up top looks very , very happy...Clara's nest must be theee place to be! xo J~
(It's raining again this very second! This is the craziest summer EVER!!! So glad my camp is not outside!)
Yes, little chick on top is VERY pleased! Clara's just being tolerant, and it would never occur to her to comb her hair ;) Re: the weather-- isn't today grand?
well I see the little chick looking up as having not been able to stay on top of the head, hence the eye roll from the girl. hahahaha. but I guess you've determined that he's just waiting his turn. expressions are simple and great. all around. .
Hahaha! Très chic, las tres chicas! What I want to know is whether the hen actually brooded on her head... that doesn't sound too comfy... unless of course it was very cold out.
Cool Chicks! I love the contrast between Clara's elegant dress and that messy hair (it looks like a nest!!). I think her mom dress her up but she's more of a tomboy who enjoys playing outside instead of staying at home and play with her dolls. The good thing is that she has found new friends :)
Elizabeth my dear! THANK YOU for coming over on this lovely summer day! I am back on my feet and hoping to post again by tomorrow night. I so hope you are enjoying HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME; what a perfect season we are having this year!!! Anita
pretty cool chick this Clara! Who cares how her hair looks. She does not look to bothered. It actually looks alot like my daughters hair on a daily basis! ha ha. YES I do love those little chicks too! :D
I just smiled so big when I see HENNY'S sweet little face pop up on my comments! Thank you dear artist and friend for your visit today. I spend several hours in my workshop trying to illustrate for a new tag set....the ideas are in my head but to bring them out in an illustration???? FRUSTRATING sometimes!
Enjoy your day my dear. Looking forward to a new drawing! Anita
Anita! I can't wait to see what you create for the tags. I have no doubt it will be as enchanting as the rest! Thanks, as ever, for the wonderful comment :)
That sure is a snorkle (combination of snort and chortle).
ReplyDeleteClara is so pleased to be the purveyor of said action!
DeleteLoving the two little chicks and that sassy blue bow. Cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! So glad you stopped by :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Agnieszka!
DeleteShe's a chique chick-carrying-chick.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of resignation in her face!
Hahaha! I love that. Come to think of it: she's
Deletea chique chick-carrying-chick and a chick. :-D
Did you know, this picture reminds me of a folk lore in Indonesia about the Prince Palasara that grew a bird on his head. lol. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi Dewi! I will have to look up the Prince Palasara story. Maybe she can be Princess Palasara? ;)
DeleteHaha, she looks exactly like a Clara. And I love the giant bow. (And she may even look a bit like Clara Bow.) The look on her face is hilarious! Love the hair and the chicks! Very adorable and fun.

Deletetotally adore that little chick on the table! like his wondering how to get in that nesty hair.
ReplyDeletekeep focused this week :)
xo sandra
Thanks, Sandra! I think that little chick is my favorite, too. It's funny because I drew him as an afterthought.
DeleteI just love your 'doodles'!
ReplyDelete...and I love that you love my 'doodles.' Thanks, friend :)
DeleteFUN! I love her "birds nest" hair and the look of 'Do I have to!" on her face.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claire. Yes, she's a little exasperated over her little chick-friends ;)
DeleteBy the colour of her feet she seems to have trodden on chick no.3.
ReplyDeleteYes. She makes chick wine.
DeleteEwwwww.. GROSE!
DeleteOh that is just DARLING!!! Her little chick is so precious! HI THERE ELIZABETH! I just got off of my busy week with a high school friend staying with me for the week. NOW, back to the drawing board! HAVE FUN! Anita
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anita!! Glad you're back on the boards :)
Deletesuch a cute illustration...love the look on her face :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy!
DeleteIt is great! Love the little chick on her head -and her watching out for it! Love your drawing style!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteWhy do I feel like this would be an awesome drawing to go along with a Shel Silverstein poem? :-)
ReplyDeleteooo... I feel a silly poem coming on...
DeleteIt's always nice to meet a new character. :) (Hullo, Clara!)
ReplyDeleteClara, with her big bow, bows and says, "Hullo" back!
DeleteThe little chick sitting down looking up....priceless!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Little chick is waiting for his turn ;)
DeleteMaybe if I start sporting a chick on my head people will stop commenting on my legs. . . worth a try.
ReplyDeleteDiversion is always a good tactic. I think I'll try it, too ;)
DeleteSuper cute chicks...all three of them!!! Clara is absolutely adorable...I wonder what she's thinking about?! The little one sitting down I just want to squeeze, such a sweet puffball, and the one up top looks very , very happy...Clara's nest must be theee place to be!

DeleteRe: the weather-- isn't today grand?
This made me laugh so hard!! she's a cute chick
ReplyDeleteIn light of making you laugh hard--I consider this illo to be a success! Thanks so much, Naomi!
Deletevery cute!
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so, josh. Thanks for stopping by :)
Deletewell I see the little chick looking up as having not been able to stay on top of the head, hence the eye roll from the girl. hahahaha.
ReplyDeletebut I guess you've determined that he's just waiting his turn.
expressions are simple and great.
all around.
.
Yes, he's next. Poor Clara is resigned to annoying little hair-chicks.
DeleteThanks Richard!
Hi, thank you for popping by my blog. I love your illustrations, they really made me smile. Love birds nest hair on chick girl. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Catherine! I'm so glad they made you smile :)
Deletewonderful line work
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephen :)
DeleteFun and Adorable illustration!Love the expression and the chicks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joyeeta!
DeleteDang, look at those skinny legs. Clara could give Olive Oyl a run for her money.
ReplyDeleteOlive Oyl is her mom. Her name is Clara Oyl.
DeleteAh yes, the trials of motherhood... She's not a family member of the chap who had the birds' nests in his beard, is she? I love her stoic expression!
ReplyDeleteYes...he is her dad ;) (See Ted's comment and reply above, for full parentage)
Delete;)
very cool Elizabeth... very chick!
ReplyDeleteClara says, "Thanks, Melissa!!"
DeleteHahaha! Très chic, las tres chicas! What I want to know is whether the hen actually brooded on her head... that doesn't sound too comfy... unless of course it was very cold out.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, anything can happen in the world of illustration ;)
DeleteMaybe I will redraw it with a hen on the table instead of the little chick!
Cool Chicks!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between Clara's elegant dress and that messy hair (it looks like a nest!!).
I think her mom dress her up but she's more of a tomboy who enjoys playing outside instead of staying at home and play with her dolls.
The good thing is that she has found new friends :)
You are quite right, Ana. Clara is not too fond of her party dress and gigantic bow. She's already kicked off her shoes ;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by !
"A chick carrying chick! genius, I love it!
ReplyDeleteDi
xxxx
Thank you, Di :)
DeleteVery funny and cute!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer!
DeleteLove her hair and giant sash bow!!
ReplyDeleteThe chick just couldn't resist the hair. As for the sash bow--I think Clara is a little fashion challenged ;)
DeleteOh wowy love this chicky! Your art is just great, I am looking forward to see more.
ReplyDeleteHey Manon! Thanks so much!
Deleteah, those little tiny duckies :-)
ReplyDeleteYes...little birdies as accessories! ;)
DeleteHee hee, may all our burdens be so delightful! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thought, Michele!
DeleteHello Elizabeth!

DeleteHysterical! This is what happens when you don't brush your hair everyday - must show this to my kids... :D
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm glad Clara can be an example for hygiene :-D
DeleteHa ha ha!!! I often refer to my hair as a bale of hay, or nest, but thankfully nobody has roosted there....yet!!! Thanks for the smile!!!
ReplyDeleteYes...beware of little opportunistic chicks! Thanks for stopping by, Mit!!
Deletepretty cool chick this Clara! Who cares how her hair looks. She does not look to bothered. It actually looks alot like my daughters hair on a daily basis! ha ha. YES I do love those little chicks too! :D
