carousel sketch

Getting the poses ready and finding a good balance between believable anatomy and taffy-like anatomy.


As you can see, my soda is gone.

Planning the background sketch. Nothing too fancy and overwhelming that it takes the eyes away from the character but still gives an illusion of motion. I had to look up a lot of different details on carousels and tried to adapt them to my style.


Close up on the finished sketch. My next worry is what media I'll be using. Most likely pencils and pastels.

Broadway Star

Been listening to Chicago over and over again during vacation.

This sketch took several hours because I had kept changing my mind about the composition. I want it to be a wallpaper but also make it easy to convert into a portrait print.

The background elements are art deco while the costumes are inspired by burlesque. I hope it won't look like there's a disconnection because of the different genres. Then again, meh on the possible anachronism, this was fun to draw.
