My first figure drawing session of the new year was none other than Sammich the Tramp. One of the advantages of my drawing group is the chance to draw some of St. Louis' elite burlesque performers on a regular basis.

One from the vault. I drew this some time ago, possibly years, when I was experimenting with combining Asian imagery and Day of the Dead motifs (I guess, in so far as anything with a skull can be considered DotD). Like some of the recent posts, I started with a simple color scheme and it wasn't doing much for me. When I added the shadows and a light source, the image just popped. To illustrate my point, here is the original drawing and the in-between stage of the process.
You can also see what small touches were added digitally.

These were from a session a few months ago. I was not incredibly impressed with them at the time. Having dug them up and played around with them a little, I think I was able to put together something worthwhile. I had originally gone with a style very similar to the last post. Instead, I opted for more dramatic lighting. I think it really makes these images stand out.
