Today, I worked on my painting (which I'll show in my post tomorrow for Paint Party Friday). So I didn't have much time for anything else. A sketch it is then.
I struggled a bit with her. I first dressed her in a turtleneck sweater. But I didn't like it. I almost started collaging over her (now that I've discovered the joys of collage ☺). But then I decided to get rid of the turtleneck and give her a normal shirt.
Better.
Then I scanned her and found that her neck was waaaayy too long. I like long-necked ladies, but only when I mean for them to have long necks. Not when I want to draw a "normal" woman . So out came the eraser again, and her shoulders went up.
Hmmmmm.
Still not sure about her, but time's up, so here she is, ready or not:
Still a bit of a long neck if you ask me .... I actually like the detail photo much better ....
Thanks so much for visiting! See you tomorrow for Paint Party Friday, and my 8th face!
i think she's perfect!! very nice
ReplyDeleteDe detailfoto is inderdaad heeeeeel erg mooi! Ik dacht meteen WAUW wat knap om zo een gedeelte te tekenen, maar je hebt een gedeelte gefotografeerd :-) Maar het blijft fantastisch.

Excellent work. Love her look! Thanks for sharing and thank you for the info on the label thingy. I was able to actually add it. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteshe is lovely
ReplyDeleteyour pencil work is beautiful
i love long necked gals too, usually for my fairies because they can be as we wish them ;-)
Wish I looked like her - she has great eyes and her long neck would attract the boys, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is another amazing painting:-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I especially love her hair :)
ReplyDeleteI too discovered this week what a rude shock a scanned image can be! I think she's beautiful though, but I agree the first partial photo is really striking, makes me want to intentionally do only a portion of a face like that.
