No refernce, just from memory of the ocean. 1st drawing on this site with these tools.

Trust me,the image will look 10x better when it's done. . .

I just love this couple ^ ^

pose from memory, mirror used for neck area.

Haven't done much drawing lately. I felt like dancing today and wanted to capture my character Ginger in a fun movement pose. Think I captured it as best i could as a short 20 min drawing before bedtime. Marking it as unfinished because I think I should fix her hair a bit.. maybe later. :)

I think that one of the greatest challenges of figure drawing is be able to draw poses that are realistic enough and believable too. It's something I really admire about comic book artists, who can draw characters in different situations and have their poses look natural (well, most of the good ones; a few don't really do a good job...). Anyhow, I think its neat how in a rough-looking picture I can just add a few lines and make it look like she is wearing a shirt of sorts so I don't have to ponder how to do her nipples. XD

edit: ok, i hate how i wanted this to be a short sketch and ended up trying to refine things a bit too much. Ok it's finished!

It looks like a badly-executed watercolor! Believe it or not, this is what my watercolors actually look like... blurry, blotchy, scratchy and sketchy! Blah, oh well.

don't freak, I'll fix it

okay, i know it only took 20 minutes but i put a LOT of effort into the colors! its hard to find EXACTLY the right color but its worth it to see it turn out like this!
