Marieana: Proposal At Sunset

Hey everyone. This is an in-progress piece. I want to finish it in something other than crayon. I figured it was at a point to show it, though.

I started off with a blue crayon to make a basic, light sketch. It ended up being Lee's mother, Marieana, but I didn't know it would be until I had started curling her hair. Maireana is the original owner of Lee's gorgeous ginger locks.

In this image, she's getting proposed to on the beach by Lee's father, Lucas. I want her to be smiling a little more about it, though, so I hope to fix that once I incorporate other mediums.

The beach is really simple... I think maybe 20 minutes of work... overall about 3 hours for the whole picture.

The Progression of Crayons

I thought this would be amusing. I wasn't even thinking about this as it was developing. I was just thinking... "Huh... I need a darker shade here... maybe this color will work?" Yeah, science.

That's all for now. Stay alive, everyone. The water is beautiful.
