Description

This was fun! I could have slowed down a little and blended a little more evenly in places, but never mind. I still like it. Rendering the water, wet clothing, and the purple thing's crepe paper material (yeah. I don't know what it's called. I know nothing about textiles 8D) were the tougher parts.

The photo reference was from a magazine, and they printed it wonky so the colours didn't quite line up. So some of the brighter shapes are lined with red or purple, and stuff like that. I liked the effect, so I kept it that way in the drawing.


reference photo - Coco Rocha
A3 paper
prismacolor pencils
about two weeks, didn't work on it every day.
title is of course from the Iron Butterfly song.

Wow! The water really looks brilliant (though it reminds me of blood a little :fear:) and it's so colorful, yet looks so real. Great work.
