This swim cap lady emerged out of a dream.
She had on a glittery red swim cap like a headdress. She opened her mouth and balloons wafted out. I sketched her out without questioning the reasoning and this was the end result. She ended up being my favorite of the new characters appearing in this stickerbook edition.
Here's a little before and after -- the sketch followed by acrylic/guache rendering.
And here's the final illustration with some other scattered about.
The final printed sticker! I couldn't help create illustrations of tiny divers using her nose as a diving board.
