It's Cyndi Lauper! Man, did i love her so much in the 80s. I remember saying to my mom that i was going to do my hair like hers, and her saying, "No, you're not." Guess that's perhaps part of why i spent the 90s with my hair every color of the rainbow.
I really was still feeling the "background inspiration," but all i could find in the house that had a decent value level of background noise was this page of classifieds. So, i thought about who newsprint reminds me of, and Cyndi Lauper came to mind and her excellent newsprint tutu from the "True Colors" video. She also was known for dynamic poses in her photo shoots, so i decided to go for her as a subject for today's sketch, which is based on this photo.
This one is about 95% colored pencil, 5% marker for the outlines and name label. I cannot complain about this sketch; i'm totally pleased with the outcome. So much so, that i might have to come up with some other appropriately zany 80s popstar to draw on some more newsprint...
