Honey

Honey is drawn from a picture I took of her in the studio. We experimented with all sorts of lighting. The photo I chose is this one where she took a very natural pose in a window recess between shoots. We took a flash over to her and held a reflector on the other side. This asymmetric lighting is just what I need for drawing - rather than the usual lighting you may use in a studio which eliminates all shadow. I love the way there's a natural kink to Honey's hair and I captured this with careful study of the light and dark tones, bringing in occasional single hairs to remind us of the texture.
