January 19th meetup

Model was Annisa this night.

Had an interesting failure from this night. Instead of outlining the figure I tried to hatch the background with pen. This had an interesting effect. Unfortunately I over used cross hatching on the interior of the figure. Cross hatching on the human form should be used sparingly as it can close the shadows and creates hard edges. Single hatching expresses the soft edges of the shadows on the form better.

My pen brush was running out of ink on this one. Tried a slightly messing shading method. At the end of the day I'm not a fan of being this messy. It tends towards sloppy and careless. I had a bit of foreshortening on this pose at was only somewhat successful in capturing it.

Like how the purse turned out on this one. The face was a good resemblance, but the shadows on the back and arm were a bit too light originally. I tried to darked them a bit, but it ended up looking too sloppy. Hard to tell in this picture, but in person I didn't like the effect.
