DHA 2311: Drawing and Illustration, Spring 2008

I hope I'm not the only one who can't find "Sketchbook Posts 2".....

So I've been contemplating for awhile and I've decided to leave Xi Shi's face blank. Since her actual physical beauty is never described, I figured I would let the viewer see her as whatever they say is beautiful. I do plan on using a lot of value in the face to help enhance the actual shape of her face ever though it won't have eyes, nose, mouth, etc. I plan on showing about 3/4 of her body so that her clothes can help tell who she is. I plan on putting the xi shi bridge in the background but I don't want that to be the focal point. I then plan on incorporating chinese symbols in an almost collage sort of way by painting them over the top of the image (but not over her face) in a different medium, like clear or light gray paint. So that's kind of what I've got going on right now....any input would be great!
