Kristina Marie
It’s been raining for a few days and there’s a lot of wind predicted for tomorrow morning, so the gazebo’s down and I’m not painting in the garden. Instead, I’m back to figure drawing. Only time to do the one today, and I suspect I was feeling a bit rushed, but tomorrow should be better. And I know these drawings don’t score highly in the polls but That’s all the more reason to keep practising and trying to get better, isn’t it?
Anyway, modelling today is Kristina Marie, making her debut. I’ve zoomed in a bit on the source material so that I don’t have to draw feet. The idea was to not need to draw a head either but some poor layout planning meant the head ended up in there.
The colours today were violet, shiraz, chilli red and leaf green, normally a winning combination. But I’ve been a bit heavy handed with the pencil marks on this one and ended up with far too much colour on the paper. She looks like she’s been bathing in the contents of my food bin.
Also the head came out badly and the abdomen ended up a bit too long compared to the rest of the body. Even now, with some cropping at the top and bottom, the abdomen looks so long that it looks like the model’s wearing a pencil skirt. Maybe that’s a good thing though. Ambiguity. You know what? I’m putting this one up for sale.
