It had to be something reasonably quick and dirty.

It was the first new hand drawn thing I’ve made since the early 2000s. So it means more than meets the eye. A curse had been broken and I was drawing again.

The picture was inspired by late 60s pinup photography, more specifically by model, dancer and an actress Michelle Angelo. I wanted to depict a beautiful female form from several angles at once, so the photograph i used for reference fit the bill nicely.

I used an HB pencil and Windsor & Newton Promarker markers on normal printing paper. I was new to this technique, but I love how it turned out. The size is 11x14cm, so it fits nicely in my A6 notebook. The process was simple; lines, subject, background.
