Reference Material

So I had to come up with a concept the only rules being that it the subject needs to be a female figure. So what I came up with is a woman sitting outdoors perhaps in a park or something like that taking a quick break from reading to stare at the sky and dream of her own future. Maybe some future goals, thinking about the person she loves, or even imagining what it would be like to be the main character of the book. So with this idea I started my paper brain storming process with quick little thumbnails to see how everything feels.


I don't feel any of those where particularly striking or strong so I kept trying to push the pose a bit.I'm leaning more toward the type that are circled. Far from being "there" but these sketches don't take long so I'll keep pushing it. I'm definitely going to try to shoot some life ref of a woman in that pose clothed. I just need to find a willing subject.
