I FORGOT that this sketch is so close to completion, so I can finally finish this painting. Whoopsie! Anyway, thought I should post because I also miraculously still love it. After I finish up the piece I’m working on, I may take a ZBrush detour, but then it’s all about this baby!
For the record, Anne Boleyn did NOT have blue eyes. They were dark brown, often described as “black”. But, the painting didn’t pop the same way with brown eyes, sorry.
Here’s more of what I’ve been working on in Tim McBurnie’s class Drawing for Comics. Still finishing up the color a bit…
This is a concept from my Tudors graphic novel idea, The Field. Anne has just spied her family at the English camp chatting happily and is about to join them after not having seen them in many years (well, except Mary…it’s only been about a year there). Mary is with her new husband, William, George Boleyn and Lady Elizabeth. Anne hasn’t developed her cynical smirk quite yet.
All Photoshop, including drawing.
