Description
Here is my first full body figure drawing. I love the different contrast in textures and the pose of the model. It was love at first sight, and I decided to make a drawing of it.I felt like my hard work has been paid off so far. I know it's not perfect and there's always room for improvement. At the same time, I don't want to linger on the same drawing forever. Here is what I came up with with nearly a month of restless nights (besides my day job.)
I named this "Shallow Depth of Feel." It's my pun of the phrase "shallow depth of field." In photography, it's the contrast between focus and out-of-focus objects within the same image so the main subject is emphasize. I use "FEEL" because there is emotion in it. Ironically, it's not that "shallow."
What do you think? Leave me a comment or favorite/like it if you like. Thanks for watching!

Oh my this is lovely....I am envious of your talent and your patience in creating this wonderful piece of art. The detail in the fabric and the water is breathtaking. It is spectacular as it is but were you ever tempted to draw the robe in the original red colour?
