For today's post, I will be trying out another tactic from my book, which is to construct a design based on an object of your choice. The point of this exercise is to be able to incorporate parts of a non-traditionally used object in a humanoid design. I will be doing this digitally, as it's easier, as well as my choice needing multiple colors to truly be recognizable.

This is the object I decided to use. It's a pen that I got when I was very young. It doesn't work anymore, but I still love it. The chain on the end is in the shape of a butterfly. 

This was the end result! The swirls within the pen were incorporated into the small ringlets of the hair. The pen is pastel-colored, so I kept that theme within the rest of her, with the skin color just a contrasting part of it to tie all the light colors together. What do you think?
