          Post Breath of life wip 1


          Hello all.

          Finding this one really difercult.
          How do you draw breath.

          Here are some ideas.
          Thinking the final picture will be portrait and closer on her.
          Going along the same sort of lines as you Mogster.

                Hi, this is my first challenge too, and I'm not sure if I have to use digital painting or if I can use traditional methods.
                So...

                @Solstice - You can do whichever you prefer to do or even mix the two.

                Happy new Year everyone, decided I'll give this one a whirl!
                My idea so far...

                    First, this:

                    @ donaldyigeorge - I really like the progress you've made so far. Excited to see how it could look all fleshed out.

                    @ Blindrat - Very nice start! I like what you're doing with the idea of the character, going outside the box!

                    And while we're at it... here are some rough scribbles to get me going on this challenge.

                          I've been working on this for the past few days. This will pretty much be my final if I can't think of anything different to add.

                          Here is some early doodle I did to get some ideas and some further digital iteration

                          Nice entries so far, not sure if I can meet the deadline!
