CANDICE SWANEPOEL

I found Candice Swanepoel while looking for SEGMENT DRAWING reference images. When I found this image I knew I had to draw her :) I later found out she’s a Victoria’s Secret model. So that means I’ve drawn three VS models now – ADRIANA LIMA and MIRANDA KERR being the other two … I’m beginning to think I should draw all the VS models :)

This drawing was really challenging, mainly because of her hair being completely out of focus. I tried to replicate it, but I struggled. I blurred it all with a tissue, that sort of worked, but after looking online, I ended up experimenting with paper stumps for the first time. They’re totally different to use than tortillions, so while I may not be 100% satisfied, I do at least have another tool to play around with :)

BEING CONFIDENT IN YOUR OWN SKIN IS VERY SEXY

I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE FUN AND ARE YOURSELF, THAT IS SEXY TOO
