Recently, I had a class assignment to create an advertisement of a modern day product in an Art Noveau style. I have learned that looking through the artists of history are actually really inspiring if you understand their artwork. Before, I couldn't find as much appreciation as I do now until Chris Oatley's Academy accepted me as a student. Alfonse Mucha is probably one of my favorite artists around the 1900s.
The product I chose was "Manic Panic" hair dye. Well, this is the work in progress for the piece! Enjoy!
Here I gained references from Alfonse Mucha's "Four Prescious Stones" & "Autumn". I loved the color schemes for my Art Noveau piece and decided to illustrate a different approach to the face of the traditional woman. I was inspired by the oriental culture. I do find some area's uneasy like her chest, legs and her left arm. I did not use a reference for this pose which is very important to do and I wish time was taken to research anatomy for a similar pose.

So I followed through with my color scheme and started laying out the flast base colors!
