So, i took a bit of a hiatus from sketching due to USITT and a couple of guest lectures i had to take care of first, but tonight i had the chance to get back into it and decided to give the Wacom sketching another try, this time without trying to incorporate color.
This is Alma Winemiller when she runs next door at 2am in her nightgown and robe, under the pretext of needing some "nerve pills" but really so she can fling herself at Dr John in her nightwear...except he's in his office drinking with his floozy girlfriend Rosa, and Alma is humiliated.
Here i've kept in the theme of asymmetrical elements for her, with her crossover imbalanced overrobe and its two weird skirt tucks on the side--lots of strange blousy horizontal arbitrary pleats and tucks in this period showing up in skirts and long peplums, and i found the hem ruffle robe in a Sears catalogue. Its fussiness made me laugh; only Alma would try to seduce someone, however ineptly, in a nightgown trimmed like a renegade lampshade from a child's bedroom. Also, clearly she's someone who is both trying for a period coiffure but having issues with Southern humidity and flyaway hair-frizz here.
I'm happier with how the Wacom drawing experimentation has turned out this time, and i'm looking forward to having the time to really jump into it, and get a more thorough feel for it as a sketching tool. I can tell that there's a lot that can be done, but i'm still learning to drive with the training wheels on as yet.
