Headless Amy

So I had another go at Amy, this time without a head.  I started from one of the one-minute sketches I did earlier as it looked so energetic and as it had head up and arms down.

Once again, the multicoloured flesh tones look good and the thigh looks shapely.  The round kneecap helps give it some form too.  The right arm is in shadow and looking better than the shadowy bits in the last painting but I’m not there yet.

The thing that lets this one down is the foreshortened left arm.  It doesn’t look right.  I need to take more care with the drawing and not start with the inktense pencils until that first stage is perfect.
