Murasaki, draft

November 11th, 2007

I finally finished the inking (which was begun a few months ago — yet another result of insomnia and ennui — then totally neglected and recently taken up again). Now I have to clean up the image (both the sketchbook image and the scanned version) and figure out how to color it.

I did Murasaki on a Moleskine sketchbook, which is not the most forgiving of canvases since it’s relatively small. Other residents of that Moleskine sketchbook include Briar Rose and the Queen of the Underworld.

This might become the first in a series of faceless women wearing assorted patterns. Haha! Seriously though, I want to do something like this using the patterns of indigenous weaving.
