Saturday Sketching

just doing some sketch style problem solving for another project and I've had this photo I've wanted to work on for quite some time. I didn't take the original photo; however, since I don't know who the original photographer is nor the gorgeous model I don't have a way to link back to them so here's what I modified. . . I took out pretty much all the surrounding background and foreground detail to really focus in on her face and her eyes, which are my focal point. I eliminated the lines that normally would form the figure and allowed the negative space and the highest value to create an invisible outline to give her a bathed in light appearance. I also stripped away all of the details from her sweater to attempt to not distract from the focal point. Anyways, hope this finds each of your making life your bitch, slainte!
