Description
The other summer painting project. This one is about 24" x 40" on masonite.
Coloring is almost done. Just have to clear up some details, bring in some highlights, and give it more depth.
I also need to repaint the background sky. I'm going to keep it a flat brilliant blue to enable me to matte in other backdrops.
I tell ya, working from live people is better than working from photos, which is what I had to do here. When you're working from a live model, if you're unsure on how a section of anatomy should look, you can just walk over to the stand and take a closer look. And of course you're in control of the lighting, so the shadows are where you want them to be.

this is a great WIP. i like where you're going with this
Beautifull work so far, well done ^^
Sorry I'm late to the party on this...I've been travelling a lot lately. Again, you impress me with your talent...Outstanding!!! Thanks for sharing!
Dear David, This really looks cool so far!! The rosy pink over the blue really is neat!! And the gals expressions and poses are great, too. I know what you mean about working from photos - it's really hard if you are trying to match them. I've had better luck in using them as a guide or reference - and then just drawing what I think should be there. This also sets me to thinking about how things kind of go full circle. Poser was originally created as a posing tool for artists - sort of a digital version of the little model wooden mannequins. I read an article or interview by the creator. When I created Meredith I was working from a model, ME, and trying to capture the anatomy correctly. George, (Parthius) is doing a whole new mesh in Maya and working with richardson, a marble sculptor, to get the anatomy right, and of course that was originally from a model. And then, I was reading about folks doing paintings of Poser models. Eveything is sort of all tangeld together. I'm thinking about doing some bronzes, cast acrylics, and mabye even marble of Meredith!! We're working on the bronze first - trying to figure the best way to get from polygons to a wax model for the foundry. It's gonna be interesting. And it'll be interesting and very enjoyable to see how this finishes up!! Looks like you're pretty close!! Love you!!! Meredith
