This isn't doen but I likely won't get to work on it the next few days and I thought I'd beg for input on it. Trying sort of an experiment, working in Photoshop with lots of masking layers. Building up with flat colour to start and then layers of texture over the flat colour. Asthetically, I know the breast needs to be rotated slightly to the right and the hips could stand to be fleshed out a little bit. That stuff I'll fix when I paint over it.

I guess what I'm curious about is 'how does it feel for a start?' I'm trying some new (to me) ideas and plan to work with photoshop in ways I have not before.

As a side note, I'm curious about numbers. I've noticed lately that numbers are creeping into my artwork and it's odd, they're arbitrary but they aren't arbitrary. In this drawing for instance, 37 sprang into my head and it was the only number that belonged in the drawing but I have no associations with 37. It's a prime number and that makes it somewhat interesting but beyond that, I have no idea why it was important to the drawing. I think this all began with 4, which was of some importance to me (and, interestingly, is the first non-prime number, and first perfect square > 1)

Now I need to get ready for class and after that. Work tomorrow.

Also, yes, this is a design that I was looking at and going, 'Hmm... Potential costume...'
