Maxine

Most of the colour today is indigo.  I didn’t fancy going 100% monotone so brought in some bright blue in places on the body and the thing she’s sitting on.  And you can see I’ve used violet in the shadows, which was a mistake.

After my first attempt, I did two sets of touch ups.  The first was on the foot, which was the wrong shape.  The second was on the shadow, which was looking too square.

The end result is OK.  While there’s too much purple in the shadow and the  hands and feet aren’t perfect, the head and face works, even if it’s maybe a bit too small.  The hair is particularly good but it’s a shame this is something that will probably only work with these pencils and not with watercolour or markers.  The curves in the shape of her right arm look good too.

Maxine is up for sale.
