Gil Elvgren Replication...by *ssava

Traditional Art / Paintings / People

While trying to teach myself how to paint with watercolors...I thought it would be fun to try and replicate one of those old pin-up girls. So I found a painting I liked and had at it.

After about 10 hours (over 2 days) I was at a place I could stop.

It's not a finished illustration. But I doubt I'll push it any more.
It's just practice.

Was a lot of fun. And I feel I'm getting better with each attempt.

Here's the original I copied from...
