Figure study female form step by step process

    Figure study female form step by step process.

    It's been a while since I did painting study of female figure. So I decided to do one or maybe a few quick figure painting study of a female body form. It was kind of rusty to begin with, struggle in the middle since it's been a long while. But after a couple hours in, it seems a bit easier but the result comes very close to what I want. I just want to study simple form of painting, not really going for the all the way realistic approach.
    Note to take on this one is that, I should have established more edges to get the image looks really painterly and smooth.
    I should try again soon.
    I start off with drawing or sketch to constructed the shape and form where I will be painting over. I am looking for the post that are interesting enough to look at rather than static. Then I use soft edge round brush to establish values then skin-tone for the figure. As it progress, the softer look become more define using hard edge round brush. I hardly use any custom brush on this one, it's just a study to sharpen my skill on figure painting.
