Been drawing to an extraneous extent after finding some public domain gems dating from 1890 – 1920. I miss portraiture. Current project in progress:

Messed up her boobs when I tried to enlarge them. Lesson learned.

The original photograph shows a proud woman, great posture and stance with hands firmly on hips and long, fringed scarves draping over her shoulders and around her legs. While I like that original vibe, thinking of giving this girl some clothes and scenery. She could be on the moon, or on stage with a guitar, or in an old bar, or a football field, oooor the jungle, possibly egypt, next to one of those pyramids where all the tourists pretend they’re really tall in pictures. Hm.

Also, Selma Hayek has a very pretty singing voice.
