Every Thursday I will now be posting a collection of images I’ve come across and like based on a particular theme (theme suggestions are very welcome, by the way!). I know it’s not technically Thursday any more, but I blame my site being down earlier for that.

This week’s theme: girls. More specifically, illustrated ones. I’ve noticed most drawing of people I’ve been loving lately have been females. I’m not sure that’s because I have personal presence towards images of pretty ladies or if there really is a huge difference in genders artists like to draw. Hm.
