Long time no fan art, huh? ^^; Well this is sort of a spur of the moment thing. Art history class has really inspired me to paint lately. My roommate introduced an artist named William Adolphe Bouguereau to me. He was a prominent realist painter of the 1800s. The painting that inspired this quick drawing is the Italian Girl Drawing Water which was painted in 1871.

I just absolutely love the wait he paints hands and faces, and for some reason, this particular painting reminded me of Sango because the way she was leaning. I wanted to practice drawing hands, so I drew Sango in place of the Italian Girl. There are a couple mistakes that I wish to fix, but oh well :giggle:

Anyway, I do encourage you all to check out Bouguereau's work. They are absolutely AMAZING :faint:


*EDIT 1/26/10* the face looks a little better, still a few quirks but there is a big difference in the face.
