Home/  Drawing in progress

 

      
This is the one of the photos I started out with.  After a while of working on it, I decided I didnt' like the way it worked with the body and trashed it.
        

 

So I went with a face turned in the same angle as the one in the body shot. I had to flip both of these because they just didn't work as well in the other direction.  This was the original sketch for the body. 
I used several pictures like the one below to study the hair and then made up most of it. So this is the result of the photo above and many pictures of curly hair.;)

 

I pasted the drawing of the head onto the body. At this point I could see the body was too sketchy for the face and I needed to work on it more
Also it was a little too large so I had to crop out the arms. I used Photoshop to correct some mistakes, and then printed it out and traced it onto a new piece of paper This is the final drawing for the body.
 

After I made some minor changes, such as color ( the left shoulder had to come down,)  I attached the head. I used photoshop tools, like airbrush, cloning tool, & line tool the blend the head and body together and add some depth to the whole thing

Below: The finished project.
