Spring Fashion 2012 - Study Collage

I finished another study collage, focusing this time on fashion in an attempt to improve my costume designs in the future. This particular piece presented two big challenges - I had to wrestle with the color I chose for the background, Pantone's color of the year, Tango Tangerine. The second challenge was dealing with the mostly vertical subjects I chose to depict, and filling the gaps I had left. I also enjoyed playing with keeping the faces to the minimal shapes of light and shadow and avoiding painting features in.

Now that that's done, I can move forward... with old projects I neglected, since I find it so hard to keep myself motivated on more than one project at a time, when I'm working on my laptop in my free time. Setting time aside on Thursday to go down to the MVZ to work on the mole skeleton keeps that project going smoothly, I finished filling all the bones in today, going to show it to my supervisor on Monday. If there are no issues, I'll scan it in and move on to inking.
