I don't normally like this sort of drawing very much, but it was great fun. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sarah_chibi_portrait-50f466dc28.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nThen my fab studio mate \u003Cb>Lauren O'Farrell\u003C/b> (aka Deadly Knitshade) said she wanted one! So here it is. But I won't have a chance to colour it today, and then thought, why not let other people try it? Extra points and laughs for making it ***SUPER SPARKLY GLAM!*** (If you don't know what a chibi is, have a look at this \u003Ca href=\"https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=chibi&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=ykCzULemMqeU0QXD84D4CQ&biw=1219&bih=763&sei=zECzUK_9OYeq0QWdx4G4Bw\">Google Image search\u003C/a>.
