Progress Final Drawing

Not quite done with this drawing yet but figured I'd post a shot anyway.  I'll probably take a shot after I finish to work on a color study to flesh out what's in my head.  Will post more soon.

Photo Ref

Here's a few reference shots from a recent photo shoot.  The worst part for me is frankensteining all the shots together to get a believable, cohesive image.  As much as love painting drapery it tends to be the most work for me to get right.  I also think I'm probably more anal than I need to be.  Gonna try and tackle this right now.

quick update

Refined the drawing a little.  Lot of anatomical weirdness that will have to get worked out after I take some photo ref.  Lots of potentially cool fabric that I'm looking forward to/dreading.  Over all I feel pretty good about the composition.  Not going to listen to the little voice saying "this would look really nice as a giant painting".  Maybe next time.

Sketch

Pretty sure this is going to be my next painting.  My sketches are the worst!  Need to refine this idea, get photo ref, transfer and start slangin some paint.
