I was resolved to use color for the 2-hour pose today!
Felt good about:
Sketched out the form quickly and efficiently today :) Even successfully revised the figure to exaggerate the gesture a bit further.
Got the proper amount of contrast I wanted on the upper back/shoulders 😍
Still struggling with:
Had a real hard time finding a not-terrible color palette. In the end I got something that worked well enough for lighting & contrast, but could be much better when it comes to hue variation and an appealing skin tone.
Need to pay more attention to time management. This piece would look more "actually finished" if I'd had more time to treat the background surrounding the figure.
