Manicure….3

This angle really intensifies the largeness of the sketch.  Kinda funky!



Put down about 85% of the color build for the skin tone.



Then I had to make a decision!  Had a bunch of ideas….I debated between:

• Silver metallic polish
• Pink series of color (where the pinky is the lightest pink then the following nails are just a bit darker with the thumb being the darkest).  
• Doodles, Designs, flowers, or various colors on a single nail

Since I really wanted to try some “nail art”, the Patriotic nails won.



I liked doing the navy nail, because I was able to show reflection more. The flag nails are harder to show the shininess. 



This is the picture I need to study.  The colors in the inspiration picture are very dull, flat and monochromatic.  I need to step away from the sketching then come back  only in a visual way, I’m hoping I can “spot” where to shadow or highlight next.
