[Fanart] He Mele No Lilo

I watched Lilo and Stitch again the other day - had a bad, highly stressful day, which I knew couldn't be cured with anything other than a hug from the Best Beloved, and failing that, a pint of Cookie Dough ice cream and one of my favourite movies. Turns out, I got all three, we shared the ice cream and it gave me the itch to draw again. So I hit 1) the pause button, 2) my pencil and eraser, and 3) my watercolour pencils and paints.

(It's a large picture, so if the right side is cut, click right and choose "Display picture" in the menu.) I added a dash of black ink for Lilo's hair and eyes, and still think the background looks funny, but overall I guess it ain't bad. My in-laws got me a book on watercolours for my birthday, and it helped a lot :o)
Pantxika (pronounced pan-tshee-ka) is my real name, by the way :o]
In other news, we're pretty certain that François' next job (which he'll keep for a few years) will be in a small town (2500 people!) two hours away from Bordeaux, which also happens to be where my dad's just bought a flat (he'll move out the old one in a few months). It's a small world after all :P I'm rather happy about that, because it may mean that he won't need to drive when he wants to see us; he's almost 70 years old and growing more and more prudent with time, and only uses his car when he absolutely needs it. We're aiming to rent a small house, because if you're gonna live in the country it's better than a flat - we might get a proper garage and perhaps a chimney! I'm terrified of fire, but François' used to it and it'd be a great plus in the autumn and winter months :o)
Means we're moving again soon, of course. Darn, we hadn't even opened all the boxes from the previous flat yet :P
