This is the first Geisha for my final piece. I wanted to go for simple colouring and using a floral pattern to stand out more. 

I was having a go at drawing the lineart with the darker colour of that area. I drew a cyclops because I wanted to draw something cute.

This was mainly me having a go at semi realism.

The second WIP I have done all three of the ladies and now I am just going to work out the backgrounds.

Since i'am using Geishas now I have been doing a study of Geishas and the Japanese trees and these are the three sketched and notes I have done of the Geishas.

I have noticed that the way I've drawn the hair and kimonos and faces have changed and they are slowly looking like the nymphs that I originaly designed but I believe that the Geishas work alot better.

WIP

Here is three of the four ladies I have been working on so far. For the kimonos I used textures then coloured the rest in myself. Right now I'am working on the Geishas and I shall worry about the backgrounds which have the seasons on later. 

For my college work, I was originally going to use wood nymphs but when I decided to make a dressing screen I found ones which had Geishas on them and I realised that the nympths had a look of Geishas and they do work well with nature. When you see painting of a Geisha she is always in a garden so I gave it a go of the four seasons with Geishas and I'am very proud of this piece.  

This is a drawing all in biro, there are a few mistakes but I do like to practise just in biro most of the time,  it helps me to try and make less mistakes and to hopefully get the proportions and the face features be in the right place. 

With this piece I was experimenting with textures and I found a very nice skin texture. As you can tell I used the iconic image of Ziggy Stardust aka David Bowie. 

This is a winter nymph that I am trying out for my current college project. I'am doing seasons and using nymphs to link it all together, this is a try of what I can put in the inside of the nymph using the words winter in bold white font, but I'am not sure that this is the best font to be using, next one I do will be a different font and I will probably spend more time on choosing the type face for this.
