On occasion I get the impression that some folks think that those of us in the art field just sit down and whip out masterpieces left and right. I think the reason for this is that most people only see the the finished product, and not all the sketches and rough drafts that go into the process. In truth, even the old masters would labor over the composition, the angle of an arm, or even a basic hand gesture. The only master I have ever heard of who didn't do tons of preparatory drawings and sketches was Caravaggio, he would just start painting. Of course, he was pretty close to insane; fantastic artist, but he truly was a crazy son-of-a-bitch. Now that I've wandered clear off into left field, let me get back to my point, which is that even the sketches that don't make the cut have a certain value. They pave the way for the finished product, which in this case is a pinup girl that I am doing for a client,
Hellbetty Jewelry. For now I can't show the sketches of the final pinup girl until my client has launched all of the material I'm creating, which will be soon, so check back for that. In the meantime, I can show you these three sketches that helped me get to the final version. Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!

| This one had a lot of promise, but unfortunately her pose is just too static for a good pinup. |
 |
| I was also pleased with this one for many reasons, and her pose is much better, but in the end she still wasn't the right one. |
 |
| At one point I thought this one was actually the winner, but halfway through it became clear that she simply wasn't working out, so I had to start over. |

Nice post, also, I like the first one :)
Yeah, I might try and rework her later with more of an "S" curve look. Thanks for your comments.
