Deino (Jan 2, 2006)

Original sculpture by Edgar Degas
This drawing, the first of mine signed with "06" has varios purposes:

1.- Experiment with quick and spontaneous traces, like... impressionism :)
2.- See how well can I do without any previous sketch
3.-Practice the human figure (Yes, she is a little desproportionate... read above)
4.- Tell everyone... Hapy New Year! 2006 YAY!!!!

I enjoy the colours, and the also 'bronzy', scratchy style.

i really do love this, like your last picture, the bg adds so much atmosphere, and the textures you get are so natural, loves it

edit, how do you get that squarey background, and did you ever explain how to do the wallpaper in your other pic?

It looks like a bronze sculpture. Pretty coolness, nice effect.

That hauty posture you captured is perfect. I'm not seeing anything out of proportion, I think it just looks that way because we can't see all of her right foot.
