This is the first of my “The Nude” Series. Expect the next to have more visuals.
I started with a drawing using a photo from “Anatomy For The Artist” as the source. I thought to myself, “I can do something more with this!” I was only planning on doing one but then I decided to play around with different typefaces, textures, and illustrations. Such fun!
What will stay consistent is the quote “The nude are bold/ the nude are sly” which is from Robert Graves’ poem “The Nude and the Naked”.
New Painting
This is more of a study on skin color. I don’t know if I was successful with this. The color seems unnatural to me. I got this done a lot faster than my first digital painting but because I have other needs to fulfill, it took me a long time to finish. Plus, I’m a slow when it comes to learning something new. As you can see, I didn’t focus on the hair all that well. That shall be my next painting study! In the end, I’m quite proud of this.
