Image Goals
For this painting I wanted to put together something that was a bit of a throwback to the golden age of pinups (think girls on airplanes) but with a little bit more of a video game-esque vibe, hence the miniguns and ammo belt. Not the most mind challenging image and subject matter but it's damn entertaining to draw!
Notes On Drawing Females
Avoid ‘chiseling’ faces. You want to keep your brush strokes solid enough to establish forms but attempt to avoid over-structuring the face. Larger brushes in the early phases help with this. Block in the larger shapes and whittle your way down to smaller, subtler forms. The blending brush is great for the female form in using it to establish hard edges with smooth gradient transitions.
