"Raven (Day 1)"

Starting from today, I am going to share with you the development of one figure painting. I am not sure how many days I will spend on it. You are welcome to take ride with me, and comment on my process and help me to grow.

This is the stage at the end of my first day. I went to AVAA yesterday and we had a beautiful model Raven posing for us. I have spent 3 hours and did a monochromatic sketch on a 8" x 10" canvas. I was concentrated purely on the accuracy of the proportion. I got some details on the face, hand, and feet. I got the human form basically correct. What about color? I had a little there. Are they correct? Who cares.
