The Rose Woman
The Rose Woman by @aodhnait (Kitty Ryan)

One of my newer characters, the highly strung, melodramatic Inès, drawn, inked and watercoloured for Lea Roded, who deserves something much better.

I am v. proud of the colours. Particularly in the real, tangible version, which hasn't been eaten by my demonic scanner. They look lush. Not so sure about the pose, though, and my hand and brain were obviously posessed while I painted that mostrosity of a sofa, but the esscence of her is there.

On the whole, it worked suprisingly well.

Media: watercolour, ink, chinese brushes, scrap paper. What else?

Oh, i really like how you can catch the essence of a character with just a few sketchy lines. Maybe i would have not chosen a profile, since i think it takes away something to picture depth. Turning her head a bit towards the viewer could have added some volume to her face as well. Anyway, good piece :)

Slainte! I love good constructive critique. I see yiur point about the depth. Tell you the truth, the more I look, the more it makes sense. Amazing how you can be totally in love with and blond to a sketch when you first upload it, and then after a few months of ignoring it followed by a bout of excellent comentary can make you see it with clearer eyes. Originially, I put her in profile simply because, as a character, Inès was renound for having a particularly dramatic one, but you are right, everything is looking a touch two-dimensional.

Thanks again.

Slan!
