This is a challenging palette to say the least--if only because of the dimensions of our canvas. Though a stand-alone piece, it must remain true not only to the scale, but what it intends to represent.
So what would a normal 'kid' in early childhood wear? Obviously, these parameters provide a vir- tually open palette! Keeping it 'real", I opted for a pair of khaki shorts with cargo pockets, and a dark, achromatic T-shirt: the latter will serve as the canvas for a promo t-shirt of a very popular TV show.
Finally, the shoes. I confirmed with Rin that these were intended to represent a pair of children's K-Swiss strap's. While all the details are present--more or less depending on the model, these will be the most challenging aspect of this project, and will more than likely evince some artistic license. . .
The figure is now undercoated, including the eyes and teeth--but not the shoes! As with Jessica, eyes and teeth will be multi-layered, multi-session
applications.
More to follow. . . !
