December's Theme One - Yuletide Chapter
Added 2021-12-14 02:14:00 +0000 UTCHappy Yuletide - Happy Winter Holiday Season, whatever you celebrate or enjoy!
As mentioned in the last "sneak peek" preview for December, this month we have TWO themes, this week and next.
Today is "Yuletide", inspired by concepts of Greensleeves, King Henry's love song, the more ancient Celtic tradition of the Holly branch and the Green Knight, and various medieval and Art Nouveau ideas of the angelic lady, or a lady symbolizing Christmas-tide and the end of year festivities.
However you choose to interpret the options here in these references is as always up to you, I just like to provide a creative springboard for those who want to take that on.
Whether you use these as sketching practice, figure or drapery studies, or to expand on for illustrative or concept design projects, the reference is meant as a foundation to ground what you create, not to hinder the imaginative process of making your own work.
And please be sure to be courteous and cite the help; When sharing whatever you make from my reference material, it is good form and legally correct to mention the model (Mairin-Taj Caya) and tag (IG: @Caya_Art, Patreon: Mairin-Taj Caya) to credit considerately and share the opportunity for others. Help me grow this Patreon!
Next week, theme TWO will be posted, with a sneak peek prior!
Have a beautiful season, everyone.
