Middle steps in "Music Pinup" painting
Craig Elliott
Here, the first shot shows the dark and light sides of the figure blocked in, as well as starting to add flat areas of color in the hair and stockings. The background color and pattern is also finished here, and the drawing corrected a bit with the cream color as I filled it in.
The second image shows an adjusted and darkened skin tone as well as all of the basic colors in the center of the picture blocked in. next I'll move to block in the border colors and then go back into the center panel and make all the finishing touches.
