Portraying dreams




Here are two different drawings each 3 hour pose of the same figure and very similar in certain ways but I would have to say that the second one accomplished what I wanted better. I wanted to figure out with composition how to create a better mood for the figure drawing. Which one would you give the thumbs up to?

I like the colours in the first painting. but the mood in the second painting is more interesting in my opinion. to write it a bit mean: first painting is more 'decorative'. (I still like it though) :)

beautiful work orlando, your design and draftsmanship are becoming unparalleled sir! i'd gladly put these up on my wall, but i must say the bottom one would go someplace real special!

out of curiosity, what mood were you trying to convey in each of these pieces?

Thank you!

The top piece I had a great angle that had a very sincere mood to it and midway through I forgot about the mood because I was having a very difficult time with the face. Then I started working on the background. So by this time I was panicking to make at least an okay 3 hour drawing. Thankfully it came out okay. I neglected the abdominal region because of the amount of time focused on the face. I think the compositional elements saved it a bit.

The second one I wanted a dreamy mood with sincerity. And I wanted to do a lot better job at the ribs this time. Again towards the end I had a panicking moment because the face was very hard to draw and I was still not happy with it. At the last 15 minute session I pulled out the face, which was completely rubbed off, and put some more simple patterns to activate dead space around her. Thanks for the question.
