Day 9 of Nude With Staff

Another day of working on Nude With Staff. I started with working on the upper torso and neck and made my way down. I also worked a little on the upper left arm. Although much of it is shadow or censored, the lower torso is almost complete form and shadow-wise, except the legs need some glazing to appear less pasty. The figure as a whole still needs alot of work color-wise since it currently looks like a jaundice patient.

I've allowed more of my own style and brushwork to show through on this painting than with Old McDonald. Instead of my method of focusing on a quadrant or element like i did with Old McDonald, I've been trying to work more of the canvas as a whole. I think this is mostly attributed to the massive size difference, but it does seem to help maintain consistency. I'm gonna try and work on the arms mostly tomorrow so the entire figure can be at the same relative state of completeness. That way it will be easier to keep skin tones consistent when putting in all the details and those last light glazes at the end.
