hello lovely readers!
well, i decided after more than a decade of
being a brush student, i had to finally attempt
people. classic chinese beauties, to be specific.
this is my third week working on the women.
people are hard to draw, hard to paint. i think they
are one of the most challenging subjects personally.
normally, i never share unfinished paintings. these are just
sketches i’m working with, striving for a final painting
worth backing and framing. but i just signed up
for tumblr, which makes it seem easy and casual to
just throw up a few images.
then realized it might be interesting for you to see
an unfinished painting. the journey to the final, as it
were. so here they are. both sketches. the subject is
definitely challenging but i’m enjoying it a lot. i especially
love painting their hair, their accessories and their dress–
they remind me of the two girls i’m writing about in my
current xia novel. =)
also, follow me on tumblr! http://cindypon.tumblr.com
*she looks rather kissy, doesn’t she? 8)
*the proportions are challenging. but i love this
one’s pose.

Your beauties are beautiful, Cindy.
thank you so much, mirka!
i’m really enjoying this new subject.
xin nian kuai le, cindy! did you see froog’s blog today?
Absolutely awesome!
Hi Cindy – it’s me, Kirsten! I haven’t blogged in ages, but now have a new one & I’m back in the blogosphere!
I love your new paintings.
BTW – remember when I went to whisper something the other day & said never mind? It was because the perfect model for one of your guy characters was sitting behind us. If he had a couple of extra inches of hair, I would have asked him to take off his shirt & snapped some pics right there.
P.S. Tumblr? Seriously? Will the social media never end? Just when I thought I was all caught up…
juliet, froog was kind enough to ask for permission first, but i don’t know his blog url?!
thanks sonnie!
kirsten, welcome back! i know, the tumblr is so unnecessary. but i might like it better than blogging! also, I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE WAS A HOT ASIAN GUY AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME! not sure if i can ever forgive you!! 8)
