Quick Betty, Late Betty

First time posting here, even though I joined about three weeks ago. Did this pretty quickly, after I figured out the pose. But figuring out the pose took about 35 sketches to get even close to something I liked (still not entirely happy with it).

Maybe I'll be less lazy (or busy) and have a more finished piece on the next post - cleaner inks or maybe even color! Heck, I'm just happy with myself that I posted something.

And thanks for letting me have some fun with you all here. There's some really great artwork being thrown about; still going through it all.

A NEW PAGE FOR A NEW CONGRESS


Hey everyone, this is my first post for the club, so I hope that it turns out okay. For the topic, I figured that the new congress would probably want to make some changes after the whole Foley fiasco, so who better to bring in than "Bettie" Page to whip them all into shape!

Boob, thanks for the feedback...I think I got it now...

Bettie Page Syndrome

Hey Choobie Chus!

I posted my Bettie Page on my blog.....sorry! I wanted to place it there rather than here, instead of posting it twice, which I feel is unnecessary.


Here's the link~ hope people like.....there are a few issues and don't expect much because it isn't.

Paging Miss Page


I didn't have much of an idea for how I wanted to treat this image. Clean in Flash? Roughed up a bit? Monochromatic? etc. I ended up liking the rough pencils but I started re-drawing her in Flash real clean like. I wasted my time there because I layed the pencils over top anyway so there was no need for perfect lines/shapes.

One thing I wanted to achieve from the beginning was to do the whole figure. I always seem to concentrate on the upper body of a character or I just run out of room for the legs. And because of that I feel my proportions are a bit weak. Just trying to make an effort to correct that I guess.

I'll post some horrible early pose ideas on my blog later today.

Great topic though Sam!

Celebrity Skins

Apologies for the lateness of my assignment. Things have been busy. Actually, this is the second piece I've completed this week; the other can be viewed on my blog, (Wr)etchings--shameless plugs ROCK! As for "Snakes on a Page", I came across a fabulous bondage photo of America's sweetheart on the same day that "Snakes on a Plane" came out on DVD; you can't deny that kind of synergy. I re-worked the image in a way that is sure to arouse someone out there; if that person is you, please don't contact me...

Bettie Page

I didn't really know who Bettie Page was. I knew she was a burlesque dancer and into stripe tease. I thought it would be a challenge so I tried drawing her and after researching pictures, this is what I came up with.

Week 20

Bettie Page
Outsider Art Club, session 120

Happy New Year to everyone in the club! We've had some bumps and bruises along the way, but the first year of the OAC has been fun, and we've all gotten some cool artwork out of it. Sam Aquino's the first contributor of the year, and her theme is simple.

Bettie Page!

I haven't made the switch over to Blogger 2.0 yet. As Baron pointed out, if I make the switch under the main account, everyone else would have to as well in order to post up. So, I'll leave it to you, fellow Outsiders. Should we make the switch?

In the meantime, get to drawing!
