derwent art prize development.

above is the nearly finsihed piece only the foot to finish with layers and rendor, around 6 hours and it sould have been finished. the lower part of the leg in the air is far too short...if i was to extend it the foot wouldnt fit on the page. if i was to straighten the foot the muscles in the leg would all change and it would make the image look flat|! in the above photo you can see the leg is out by a long shot but thats the angle of the photo in life its harder to see. 

you can see in the photo below.

you can imagine my disapoinment when i noticed the proporstion was wrong. such a novice move to make! i was oltering the desighn of the leg and torso as i went along and like a dick head i left the leg alone so when it came to doing it to the leg, it was too late.

i was really happy with the progress and the development of this piece. it was a nice change to go back to what i knew best.

my options are, to draw it again or crop this down. crop it down by size of paper. so make the image A2 or A3. before saying im going to scrap this and start agin, iv decided to crop the image and see if its acceptable cropped.  

this is the image croped down to A3. this is the only part of the image that i could save, if there was more leg showing it looked like her was cocking her leg up like a dog...any more of her right arm showing t looked like an adult image...the arm was indacating something else completely.

now that its cropped it still looks nice but now its a smaler image that alows me to add more detail and layers into the image. because there is less of the body to look at its less forgiving so i need the detail and more layers.

after taking some time looking and reflecting on this drawing iv decided to carry on drawing and making this as good as it possibly can.
