Have been wanting to do a painting based on a couple embracing. I'll often do quite a few sketches/drawings until I complete something that works. In this case I still have not found it!! The figures are STILL not loose enough. Accuracy of anatomy is not important here..I am going for UNconventional figures here..parts of a gesture. I will continue with more rough drawings..these two are not much different from each other..I seem to have over emphasized the jaw in the figure on the left..corrected this somewhat in the second study. These are still both WAY too literal..I am hoping to alter the figures even more before I get to something that might work for a painting. It is funny, I get glimpses of what the painting would look like, (in my mind-in paint), but I seem to have to move through a number of sketches before I can get "beyond" some academic rendering. I am hoping that the oil version will break away from a lot of the academic influence. http://www.wetcanvas.com/Critiques/User/thekiss1.jpg
