Description
I've drawn Sue before, but never topless. Since I'm not in the business of going full xxx, I thought it'd be a good compromise to hint at nudity and my client liked the composition. I also haven't drawn flesh at night before either. That being said I went with a blue-violet hue given it's a night shot and I needed the skin to blend in with the night blue tone. This was also a tough sketch cover because the blank cover had an ad on the back and I couldn't trace the rough image with my lightbox. This is also a gamble that paid off. Another was the choice to use Prismacolor black for the shadows caused by the blinds on Sue's front. I did that in order to distinguish the shadows on inorganic objects on the image, for which I used black copic marker and micron pens. Whether I made the right call in the choice of blue green tones for the hair, I don't know. Overall I'm proud of this project and am really becoming a fan of sketch cover pieces.
