Torah Bright

Page two from my sketchbook, Torah Bright, olympic gold medalist in the ladies half pipe in Vancouver 2010 ([link] <--- video here). Drawn for practice on challenging materials and trying to get a better contrast range than I managed in my last drawing. I got a little carried away filling in the background and totally covered the area under her chin in 9B background colour, when there should have been hair there from the reference. A little disappointed with how dark the hair ended up, she doesn't look at all blonde in this and I'm not too happy with the fluffy hood either. I still haven't touched a blender yet, maybe next time for some smoother skin tones.

Glaiceana and I decided to draw Torah simultaneously for fun, check out her drawing below:
