I figured since Van Gogh and I spent some time together, I should maybe spend a little time with Michelangelo too.. Gotta keep things even you know :-)
This is a sketch from one of the figures in the Sistine Chapel. I have a giant book on Michelangelo - and there is a wonderful closeup of this beauty... I can't remember who she is right now and I'm too comfortable in my current chair to go into the next room and find out!
I am totally happy with the way she came out. I love this sketch journal paper... it's Canson Mix-Media "XL" if you are interested... I got the 9x12 but they make all diferent sizes.
P.S. I love being able to blog from my PHONE! I do hope the photographs are looking okay?
The photo is good, and you've done a great job with the skin tones. But I think you might be getting a bit too comfortable in that chair! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! She's a beauty.
ReplyDeletePhoto looks great. A beautiful painting--love the light on the shadow side of her face and the drapery is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteha ha! i am too comfortable in my chair, for sure :)
