Pin-Up Study No. 4

I am loving doing these pin-ups! Each one, I really learn something new, both with the drawing aspect, and then the painting aspect. I know for sure this sketch book paper is crap! Grrrr! If I put too many washes, and by that, i mean more than one(!), the paper starts scrubbing off. BUT, I refuse to not finish a sketchbook I've started...I just may have to use this one for strictly gestures, superquickie sketches,and notes, because I've tried gouache, watercolor, acrylic, and just plain graphite, and they all look horriffic in here. UGH! So, perhaps I'll move the pin-ups to my 1st ever Moley...

I don't think it shows up in the scan at all, but her bikini is gold! ; ) What gal doesn't want a sexy gold bikini and a pair of ridicuously hot purple shoes?!

I still am struggling with hands, feet, and eyes...and getting the proportions of the face right, but it's coming along, so I'm happy...

This another study using my Taschen's 1000 Pin-Up Girls...
