Rainbow Bisque

The model in this picture had an unusual (and really interesting) blue skirt that seemed to flow in every direction. I had a great time trying to capture the ruffles and folds. I am still working on adding faces to these drawings - thinking about how best to capture the face with as few details as possible.

Attempting to add a little color to my pen studies. A little really goes a long way. Note to self - any areas I plan on using solid, saturated color on should be applied before the pen if possible. The flare tip bleed will shift colors pretty drastically.

Still trying different things with water soluble graphite, flare tip pen and water. I really like the neutral blue that runs off the flare tip pen - unfortunately it doesn't carry very far. I can't create large patches of the color without having a fresh line next to my water. It is also becoming clear that this particular variety of paper doesn't hold up to water all that well.
