My son voted for this god as the sketch of the week, primarily because he really liked how the reflections came out on the water. There’s actually a lot I dislike about this sketch (the major one being that the gesture is wrong: her body is too stuff and vertical, and doesn’t capture the motion I wanted to imply. I wasn’t trying to draw a god idly gazing at the horizon; I wanted to show one treading off to capture it).
But as I’ve said before, powerful naked women are a crowd-pleaser, and so they lead when I’ve got ’em. Besides, I really am pleased with that reflection, and with my first attempt at a diaphanous cloth.
The runner-up is this bar of soap, and probably the better sketch:
I write for a living, have terrible penmanship, and struggle mightily to “unsee” text as text: when I draw something with a prominent hunk of text in it, it’s devilishly hard for me to draw what that text looks like instead of writing what it says. I’m working on that, and this is the first attempt that got anywhere close to right.
