In the making of this reference, my phone and all it's most recent imagery and photo documentation was fried by a bad outlet connection overnight, beside my other technical difficulty, so I want to thank you all for your patience in the bringing of this month's themes about. I'll be re-shooting for the Tier TWO patrons, as all that content was lost.
This week's chapter, or first batch of reference, is a back-lit figure featuring the picnic or beach-themed setting. With an off-white ground, there is room to interpret the figure on a sandy shore, if desired, while the general green background allows for a more pastoral or garden-like situation. In my own reference, I like to keep options open by utilizing environments in a vague way, so that they can be adjusted or altered as needed, and so I hope including these options in the context of the photos here is helpful to you, as well.
Of course, feel free to disregard the environmental cues and use these for structural/anatomical sketch practice, as well! The options are yours.
Chapter Two of the sunbathing theme will include more full figure and reclining poses, as well as themed detail shots, in a slightly different setting. End of the month!
