Gesture study.. approx 3 hours in

Me spending 3 hours to draw a reference girl from quickposes.com,.... but from all 4 directions.

Final result... I am not really happy, but exhausted. At least it's done. Ain't pretty, but it somehow does what I intended it to do.

Hopeful start

and a 90° turn,... but something ain't right

still ain't right

Gosh darn it!

All it takes is courage, ink and the reference...
actually, proportions would be nice, too...
I guess, I'll better go back to graphite...
