Figure drawing of Angelique (WIP)

[Timo Kähara]

Work in progress. There’s a special charm in a semi-finished drawing (in my humble opininon).

Hey Timo,  yeah some “wip” drawings are just great,   i like your progress so far, i can see a solid base drawing though i would tone more the reflexed light on the breasts.

I would suggest working on the line of the legs and head, maybe barely suggest the forms of them with thin to thick lines so they guide us to the  “the chest”, so we have a variety from line and chiaroscuro on our overall composition.  I would do that, just my suggestion thought.

 

Thanks for sharing ::)

I like this a lot!! I agree with all of Carlos’ critique, but would also suggest darkening the line around the legs and feet and lower belly and the head and neck, if you choose to add it. You’re mixing a more finished style with line work, which is a neat style that I like a lot!

Thanks, Carlos and Lucy, for the comments and suggestions. I really planned to keep it “unfinished”, but fiddled too much with the outlines of the legs, so it didn’t look enough loose and spontaneous anymore. So I finished the figure and added a red colour pop instead. Check out some closeups of this drawing on my Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/timokaharaart/

Wow, this turned out really nice! Great value control!

Beautiful work! I’d love to see a progress video and your thought process during this!

[Timo Kähara]

Thanks, Vera and Chi! Unfortunately no progress video for that drawing. In my case there’s no intricate thought process. Just observe-analyze-draw and repeat (:
