PPF: A girl and her bird

Here's another painting for my portfolio (and Paint Party Friday). I like it but now it's really bothering me that her scarf is floating off in the breeze and her hair is sitting flat. Bit silly. Ah well.... maybe the fan is only far behind her hair, lol. Pretend you don't notice! This was painted in Photoshop.

I've been doing a lot of cool color paintings lately and wanted something warm and bright. Aside from her icy blue hair and winter scarf, she's warm. Really. Click for the bigger image.








Here are a few of the drawings from my life drawing session today with one of my favorite models. She always manages to find the good poses and best of all, she is such a still sitter. Anyone who goes to life drawing regularly appreciates a still sitter. The left two are charcoal (5 min poses) and the one on the right is colored pencil. That was a long pose.

We also have weekly challenges and this week, it's Halloween Monsters. If monsters aren't your thing, then autumn scenery works just as well. I made mine (at left) as an ATC (ink and markers) and he's up for trade in the group. Come join in and trade me!
