A Beauty to Behold

This gal was partially out of my head I have to admit. I did see her sitting with a group, and memorized her to draw later. She was not quite as wild as I made her, but she certainly was a big girl. I loved the posture, that is what attracted me in the first place.

Thanks Jo, I just hope these folk never get to see what I have done with them. But yes, they are fun to do.

Her "character" really comes out in this one Rae. I envy that you can draw from memory. Fun sketch it made me smile.

Thanks Donna, and I think if these poor people saw what I did with them, they might be a bit upset, still I do have fun making some of them up, and that's what makes the world go round.
The realism/trueness is not that big a deal for me in some of these sketches.
At least they start with an actual visual, but what I make from that, is anybody's guess.
I guess the mind is a wondrous storage vault huh? At least I can honestly say mine is.
