Renaissance girl
Loving the outcome of my illustration of a Renaissance girl. The background (top part) is a bit unfinished because I am lazy to shade it and will leave it at that. Therefore, I am quoting this: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” – Leonardo da Vinci
The clothing is based on Queen Elizabeth’s clothing in wikipedia with a few adjustments. The reference is listed under public domain. [Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth_I_in_coronation_robes.jpg]
Oh, one more thing; the hair is of that famous Venus by Botticelli.
I use Staedtler Wopex 2B pencil, a state-of-the-art solven-free pencil, 70% made of natural wood fibres solely from a sustainably managed forests in Germany. Am loving the non-slip velvety soft surface which makes it very comfortable to hold.

Oh, jaja ambil course rekabentuk ke kat uni? so, mesti pandai lukis jgk kan? 😉 tapi mcm tak nampak pulak dlm blog. atau mungkin saya yg terlepas pandang..
jaja
memang amik rekabentu.. kalu freehand sketches memang kurang sikit… saya lebih kepada CAD.. 😀
imaisha
oh..modern gitu. senang ke guna CAD? buat 2D ke 3D sekali? mcm teringin je nk blajar 🙂
jaja
buat 2D, 3D dengan animasi sekali… tapi animasi tak terrer sangat.. 😀
guna software autocad, solidworks, 3ds max…
ada yang pakai catia, rhino n macam2 lagi lah.. 😀
glory jane
saya penah belajar autocad dulu… tak leh nak masuk. pening. mcm nak muntah… haha. tapi saya memang la tak suka komputer dulu…
imaisha

“Art is never finished, only abandoned.” This quote really comes in handy when we are lazy to finish the artwork. Well played!

I’ve never seen steadler set like this. Hehe..maybe because i’m not an artist. 🙂

Love the quote too:
“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
