A WIP and a few stamps


Here's an illustration that I'm working on over the next few days, a pretty nature goddess. I'm still working out the composition and colors so things are likely to change. It's a WIP. I still have no idea what she's going to be holding in her hands! Flower maybe? An earth?

At left is a quickie portrait from a recent life drawing session. This model is one of my favorites. She has such a wonderful profile and I always try to find a spot to her side so I can draw her nose. Plus she's a fabulous model, always spot on with the poses. She reminds me of a master drawing (the one at right is from way back, an ATC in watercolor).

Happy PPF!

    1. It was too balanced and symmetrical for me. I wanted to unbalance it a bit. She's still front and center but it works for me for now! :)

  8. These are fantastic-your life drawings are really full of character. I love this nature goddess. My first thought was that she is holding a crystal ball.

  13. When I first looked at your piece of art, it immediately reminded me of Frida Khalo's popular painting, "The Little Deer". :) Your portraits are fantastic. Very compelling art here.

  17. That face from your life drawing class really is so strong and full of personality! I could see all manner of old-fashioned hats on her! The antler woman is looking fantastic.

  19. Wow! I love your nature goddess. There is so much energy emanating from her. I would maybe have her holding some natural crystals. I love the purple sky against the gray trees. Happy PPF
