It's been pretty lazy Sunday yesterday for me..With no plans for a day that was gray.. I had my morning coffee thinking what should I paint..Wasn't in the mood for watercolors and I remembered to have several photos of geisha on my drive. Lately I started reading a book about them, their history, tradition and habits. Possibly my subconscious gave me kick to start this drawing of the day.
And also I was in the mood for another ink and pen drawing, not like this one

but one that will take more time and work.
And here is the process..
Photos were taken during different time of the day so the shade of the paper vary.
Paper is Canson paper Mix media Imagine A4
No previous pencil sketch, why to make it easy from early morning :)
Got myself into hair instantly, so tempting detail
Going with more datails
On larger black parts decided to take thin brush to apply ink.
Only details on belt were done with silver and white ink, probably will use more of this kind of approach in some future drawings.
And here she is, after day of easy work, between lunch, nap, watching tv shows and eating sweets :)
Thank you for watching and hope you like this pretty gentle person from paper.
