Half-Done Figure Study, Finished

More or less.

I spent more of my evening than I intended playing Saints Row the Third, but by around one in the morning, I turned on the next episode of Game of Thrones and set myself to work. There are things of this painting that unsettle me, but I cannot put them to words. Similarly, there are things that I really like about it, but again I am not quite sure what they are. Perhaps it's the variance in colour for the flesh, but I'm not sure. Regardless, I think it's neat.

Revisiting the Half-Done Figure Study

Three-quarters done figure study? Maybe? Kind of deviating from the study I worked on during this week's Awesome Horse episode as I venture into colour. It's quite a bit of fun, I've found, to just splash colour onto a heavily-worked grayscale piece. I'm particularly enjoying incorporating a lot of blues into the fleshy reds on her face. Overall, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm still enjoying it.

So why did I come back to it? Partially because I liked it, but partially 'cause Marc Scheff commented on it on wipnation asking if I intended to continue working on it. Yeah, I'm spineless and susceptible to the whims of those better than me. So what!

Half-done Figure Study

Done while watching the Awesome Horse livestream today, using their reference image. Anyone interested in illustration or art in general should watch these streams, they're extremely interesting and amusing. I was running around a bit during the stream, and I was also working dreadfully slowly, so I only really got a chance to pay attention to the face. And now I am hungry, because I skipped lunch for awesome horse. I feel like I lose some of the energy from a study if I leave it, so I probably won't come back to this.. But I kind of like it, so I donno, I just might.
