Pencil/Pen sketch.

This isnt my usual way of sketching. However, I tried to push myself out of my, small, pretty, elegant, comfort zone and do a big, angular design. 

I didnt want to add colour in the end incase it ruined it as you cant get one block colour using watercolours and its like primary school felt tips how it gets darker in certain places. I wanted to focus on the detail of the face, figure, and movement of the fabric. I really enjoyed doing this so hopefully I'll end up doing more big sketches like this in the future.

Pencil Sketch.

Taken from Glamours July 2012 edition.

 I didn't want to fill this in colour as I didn't want to take away the deatils of the drape in the fabric and her face. Nor did I want to end up adding too much colour and ruining it with big black eyes or clown lips.

I wanted to focus getting the angles of the bent arm right and the movement of the fabric. Also the face, which is a big weakness of mine when drawing!! I always will try and avoid it. 

I know its very faint, it didn't look it on the photo I took, so you might want to tilt your screen back ever so slightly.
