More reclining woman

Posted on Sunday, March 13, 2011

Another Sharpie sketch of a reclining woman. I think this was a 5 minute pose. Like Curves the technique involves quickly building the shape with the edge of the Sharpie marker (so you get faint squiggles) and then making a dark outline of the shape. This way I don’t have to commit to my initial strokes. I also like the treatment of the shadows using directional lines; I very rarely get them to look right.
