Christmas Wishes!


It's getting Christmassy round here now, with all the blinking lights dressing my street in needless illumination. Being the ever cheery soul that I am I decided to do a bit of a christmas "study". To go with my collection of feminine figures, I thought; what better to do than a Miss Santa? Genius, it was.

This one didn't take me as long as some of the others - 10 hours tops I would say. Again, I tried to venture away from sketched outlines by boldly erasing them after I had finished shading every part.

I particuarly like the shading around the breasts and fabric creases in this piece. The hair is also quite nice despite how simple it was to do it.

It's not my favourite piece ever - I think I could have worked on the face and arms a lot more. The arms began to particuarly annoy me when every time I tried to shade them it always looked horribly wrong.

Not to worry, though, I am still pleased how it turned out overall.

Merry Christmas, internetters. :)
