sketches for a couple illustrations I’m working on for a “retro” art show. They didn’t turn out as pin up as I had intended but with color and all I think it will still look retro enough I hope, a bit more retro comic then pin-up girl though, and even if they don’t I like them anyway.
Tonight, acrylic and gold leaf on wood panel. #painting detail. About how I felt one night.
I’ve been going through the “artists on tumblr” tags and found this. I really love the face and the gold flecks, I wish I could see it in person :D
sketches for some of the paintings I’ll be working on! there’s one more I still need to finish sketching. Then on to the next steps! I’m intending to do pastels over these to get the colors and shading down a bit more (they won’t be flesh colored but rather green, blue, purple, and a redish)
what do you think?
also I recently found out about a retro art show looking for pin up art so I’m going to do a couple small works for that I think, good thing I got pretty good at drawing people; lets’ hope that caries over to painting!

back in my etsy shop! I’ll be posting a new mini-version soon as well. ^_^
thought I’d post a bigger version! my current progress working with http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/
Nudity!
So I managed to get through College as fine Arts major without a single Figure drawing class and with minimal work with any a live model that wasn’t another student. This has been a weakness with my own work, which I’ve been trying to rectify as of late (although I still have yet to use a live nude model but that’s okay). I even was recommended by my illustration teacher to go to a small weekly figure drawing class that I managed to avoid weekly for one reason or another (eh I don’t feel like it this week, or meh I would rather wait for a female model, ect). As for the actual figure drawing class I got out of it because they had changed to graduation requirements just before I switched majors so basically I had to take computer graphics instead, and even though I still wanted to take it as some point it either didn’t fit well in my schedule or I had an insecure boyfriend who didn’t want me to take it and I didn’t want to enough to take it anyway.
