Work in Progress - Rough Drafts

These are a few of my rough drafts for this Aesthetics activity.

For this rough draft I used color pencil and really tried to capture the sadness with the coloring as well as the expression.  I think I need to tone down the background and make the line work help in the focus

I really liked how she was looking off to the side, as I felt it gave more movement to the piece, but I loathed the hands and the angle.

This is a digital sketch and coloring of where I want to go with the final version, making the woman the focus as well as keep the flow.
