Oh my god...highlight crazy...

I am terribly TERRIBLY guilty of moving onto highlights before I even get close to completing a colored piece. I haven't even laid flat colors onto her bathing suit. Like a little kid who eats dessert before finishing dinner.

And yes, I do like similes and metaphors.

Still, it's progress! It's a wonder I got it this far.

Victoria Secret

Like most woman who has ever shopped at a Victoria Secret, I get a monthly catalog from them advertising the latest clothing and underclothing of the season.

I've been receiving this catalog long enough to have a favorite model, and this girl is gorgeous, this drawing does NOT do her justice. I started off just wanting to draw her face but found myself drawing the rest of her. I'm pulling this pose straight from the the $10 off coupon I got in the mail. If I knew I'd be taking the drawing this far I would have emphasized the pleasant angles in her pose (like in the photo).

Still, this was fun, I wanted to produce clean line work since so often my sketches are a mess and I just leave it like that. I'm like a man who sleeps with a beautiful woman only to leave her with baby and claim no responsibility. I'M BETTER THAN THAT! I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE THESE THINGS THROUGH!/end rant
