My husband has been working out of state a lot lately which has afforded me lots of art time in the evenings. Unfortunately sometimes I don’t know when to quit and I keep going even when the light is getting murky and I am too tired to concentrate adequately. This painting is the product of one such art session. There are elements of it that I like: I think the contrast between the monochrome and the bright pinks is effective and I like the shape of the nose. I also quite like the way the zebra stripes worked out. However, the proportions are wonky throughout the painting. That need not have been a problem given that Zebra Woman is a monster but it annoys me that the shape of the cranium is too shallow and that I think does matter.
Have a Happy Halloween weekend!

Top of my mind is, your zebra woman looks like Lady Gaga or Annie Lennox in costume 🙂 For me wonky is always super. It adds more interest to the whole drawing.

Ha! Maybe Gaga or Annie Lennox would look good in this get up! I don’t mind the wonky proportions so much except the cranium: the back of her head is too flat. Still, it didn’t bother me enough to paint over it.

The paper in this book doesn’t absorb water well so I’m using acrylic but on top of the acrylic layer I am using watercolour crayons and ink.
