Graceful Woman

A work in progress... just showing the steps I've done so far. I got a new Intuous 2 tablet today (yay!) and I am breaking it in with a drawing.

Step 1:

Lay out base forms with broad strokes and thick values. Little focus on detail at this point.

Step 2:

Beginning to bring out details. Wrinkles on the gloves, facial features and hair.

Step 3:

Played around with the colors. Decided that I wanted something to bring out her red hair. Green = good.

Step 4:

Enlarged the eye and pushed the back of the head foreward. Also decided I like her better facing the other way. Don't ask me why.

More to come soon. I'll probably post the finished piece tomorrow.
