Just after I blogged about getting that naughty book from the library, the Illustration Friday prompt for this week is "book". Hmmm, coincidence?
I thought about just doing a still life of a book and some prop - like a candle or a glass o' wine or the cliche' book with roses... Then I considered the cop out of just opening up a couple of sketchbooks and snapping a pic of them. Nah.
In the end I went with this girl reading some chick lit.
The lace leggings were a challenge. To me, she looks kind of naked with some strange rash on her legs, but oh well. They're supposed to be lace leggings.
I wonder what she's reading.

I think they look like lace leggings, but what do I know?
ReplyDeleteFor one, you're an authority on style, so I'm glad they look like lace leggings to you!
DeleteI was thinking lycra, but now that you mention a rash.....
ReplyDeleteBut I like her hand and the color of her hair against the colors of the wall. And whatever she's reading, she's at a good part!
Maybe she wore lycra but is allergic?
DeleteAnd thanks for including the "likes". I like the sunlight on her shoulder and upper arm... since you asked :)
Of course those are lace leggings!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you didn't go with the cop out, because the painting is awesome! I love how she's really into the book - makes me want to read what she's reading...
Wow, you did a beautiful job here!
ReplyDeleteWhatever she is reading it is something that has her full attention, don't know much about lace but it looks like lace to me :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job. The lace leggings are a nice touch but the intensity of her read is what captures the eye.
ReplyDeleteI recognized the leggings as leggings immediately! You've really captured a person fully absorbed in the story. I think she's reading Jane Eyre.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely leggings, but sparkly ones! It's a lovely and peaceful little scene. I like where you've cropped it.
