Endearing

I did this one right after "Flirt", since that was a portrait and I wanted to do a full body too at the time, but a more revealing one than her first pic with the dress. And I also wanted to try dressing her up in something other than black, lol.

Originally she was gonna be topless but I started playing around with it more and I really liked this so I went with it instead. Can never go wrong with see through clothing and I always like this kind of cross shaped top too.

Most important thing here is the pose/body language though. Again I wanted it to be revealing but still very elegant, especially with how much is shown. The hands play a huge role in that and its a good example of how important it is to get them just right, since they can make or break a pose. And part of it was also me wanting the nails to be very noticeable so yeah I wanted to do a pose where both hands and feet were very visible.

It also took me a long time to get her face/expression right throughout the sketch. I kept going back and changing things because I wanted to keep the confident look from previous pics but make it softer/cuter, but without losing the edge. Its really hard to pull off when youre as picky about these things as I am and I spend way too long on it every time but I wouldnt be have it any other way sicne then I wouldnt be happy with it.

For other details, Ive also kept the bow on her tail since it looked so good on previous pics and adds to the cuteness. Then I thought an anklet would also look great here and fit with the more tribal look of the outfit as a whole. One thing I was very undecided about was whether to bring the glasses from the first two pics back and I was really 50/50 about it but in the end I thought it looked slightly better without, though they will be back in the next one as its an outdoors pic and it fits really well there.

And lastly for the setting I wanted something with a beach/tropical feel, similar to the inn in Tuliyollal, so indoors with a cozy feel to it. As Ive said before she looks best with greens and blues so I knew this would be a good fit. I also wanna do a proper beach pic at some point but yeah some other time, maybe when we get closer to the summer so its season appropriate lol.
