Wind
Now, for something completely different. I’ve been doing so much in the computer lately. I felt inspired to do something by hand for a change. Here is the result. A simple ink drawing. I wanted to play a bit with the feeling of the wind blowing her clothing and that clothing having some translucency.
This started out as a pencil sketch, then I did the inked version. I scanned that and played around a bit with layers and filters in Photoshop. I always seem to end up back in Photoshop. I love that program.
So, what do you think of this one?
Thanks for checking it out.

I would say she looks Asian. That and it was a COLD wind. đ
I think that the “cold wind” is actually supposed to be a fold of cloth.
I like her, but I think she’d look better with her toes pointed behind her, like she was in a swan dive or something. Regardless of that, she’s far more wonderful than anything I’d be able to create with pencil, pen, or any computer program.
Thanks guys. If you look at her close, I think you will see that it is a combination of “cold wind” and cloth. So, you are both right. I didn’t point her toes, because I was think of this as more like she is leaning against a strong wind. Either way, it is something that I whipped up in a day. It was fun to work by hand again.
I’m also working on some ideas for that bigger marine. That will take a bit more work. Should be fun though.
Thanks again for the support. I really appreciate the comments.
