This took 3 hours to make. Someday... someday I will be faster.

This one took 3 hours. I suck. :(

Another practice painting from Victoria's Secret. This one didn't take too long: 1.5 hours.

This is from some cheesy publicity photo I found online. I'm trying to branch out from just Victoria's Secret. ;)

Another practice painting. As a portrait, it has flaws. But as a painting, I am quite proud of it. I like how the underpainting shows through in parts, and it feels very rough.

This is a very small sketch. I am kind of a control freak, so it's nice sometimes to be forced to let some of the irrelevant details go and just capture the shape of a thing.

Sometime after Laetitia disappeared, I stopped bothering with their names. She's just "freakishly skinny with big smile." I also like to draw "slut with big pouty lips," who appears in some of the previous drawings.

Several old studies I found in my files.

An old sketch I found.

A sketch from another Victoria's Secret catalog. I was surprised at how well it turned out, considering I couldn't erase oil pencils and I didn't do a preliminary carbon sketch..

A Victoria's Secret catalogue study painting. My favorite part is the gray over brown - that layering effect is the thing I like most about oil paintings.

This is another study from a Victoria's Secret catalogue (a shy girl has to make due). I love how it looks more like an oil painting than a watercolor.

You might have guessed: I love drawing hair.  Chunky, stylized, curly hair is my favorite

Contrary to Calvin Klein's opinion, Laetitia is the ideal of feminine beauty. I have drawn her thousands of times and she still fascinates me.

Bouguereau was the arch-enemy of Monet and his ilk: the representation of all that was commercial in art, no innovation or spontaneity. I love him. I say, take your originality and shove it. The need to be the "first" to do something is such a juvenile concept!

This is from an illustrator's reference book. I just like how the colors turned out.
