Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Daily Creativity: Love Your BodyThis Love Your Body piece was originally going to be something else. I was using the reference photo for a fallen angel idea I had, but as I was creating the image, I didn’t want to add the wings, I was enjoying the way this figure was taking shape too much. I drew this with fountain pen ink, Diamine Oxblood, and used water to create the shading. This ink isn’t the best for shading in a watercolor style, but it wasn’t supposed to be what it became. I really like how this came out.

This Love Your Body piece is more what people traditionally thing of when they think of watercolors, and that is ok. I enjoyed playing with the color and the softness of the light bringing out the curves of the figure. You can see the reference photo that inspired this piece here, but sadly the model and photographer info were never posted, so if you know it, let me know.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body Charcoal Sketch

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body Charcoal SketchLove Your Body, no matter what it looks like. It has been there to help you, not hinder you. It may not match what society tells you it should look like, but society is often wrong. It looks just as it should. I sketched this in charcoal and really love the quick impressions I was able to put down. I think this pose shows how much love there is for the subject’s own skin. It’s something I think we should all aspire too. Rather than contorting to an impossible ideal we should love what we have. All bodies are good bodies.

This Floating woman was inspired by a script my friend Melissa wrote as part of a script writing challenge. She asked me for some art to put with it for her post, I sent her some and was inspired by her writing to draw this. I love the round circle of inspiration here. I will come back and link to her scene when she posts it publicly, but in the meantime, just know, it’s great. Read the script here, it’s amazing!

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

This Love Your Body piece was inspired by Mark Velasquez’s photo that I spotted on tumblr a while back. I was so struck by the image, the posing and the draping of the fabric for some reason reminded me of religious art, it was very goddess like to me. So when I sketched her I kept that in mind and tried to bring that to my drawing. I like to keep images from tumblr to work on later. My flow is when I see something that strikes me I click reblog>save as draft. My drafts folder is full of beautiful figures just waiting to be turned into art.
