I’m embarking on another series, this time fetching females:-) A slightly different challenge to extend my learning from all the male studies I have done recently. I’m still concentrating on learning rendering, lighting and hard vs soft edges. Andrew Loomis suggests that a pleasing female illustration should have an absence of details to make them seem softer and moreyouthful, so its an exercise in only showing so much and implying the rest.






This portrait of George Lazenby ( the best Bond ) was a quick 1 hour study before bed that I thought came out well. I read somewhere that the darkest areas of a form are usually just after the tangent to the lightsource, so I am trying to emphasize that along with the extreme noir contrast which blows out and eliminates detail. Using blues to add moodiness ended up with a pleasing illustrative look that I hope to turn into a series of studies.
