Squidface

"An erotic nightmare" - 9 hours total, a painting done from a tiny scribble that I did on my housemate's shopping list.  Squidface comes from an obsession with squids, I've only recently grown enough confidence and patience with this texture to be able to recreate it.

The process

Sketch to Basecoat, Shading to Lighting and Detail, Clothing on a separate layer.  Merge Clothing layer with Lighting and Detail, blend.  Draw background.  Blend figure with Background, add bounced light and shadows.  

Posings

Found these on my desktop from when I was trying to figure out her pose.  I like how she moves through these drawings.

From sketch to Photoshop

The original tiny doodle on my housemate's shopping list.  Then a screenshot of my attempt at speed painting.  I suck at this bit.  It's an area I need to practice on.
