Classic style pin ups

Two girls I drew for class, classic pin up style. The questions are related to my bitching about postmodern art theory (I'm in an art theory class right now). C&C welcome.

looks pretty good. one thing that stands out to me is the skin tone of the girls. I'm not sure if that is the style you're going for, but if you were to use shades of blue, purple,red, and sometimes even green in the skin for different tones and textures it would really come to life. I know it sounds odd, but it works since in nature what we are really seeing is light reflecting off surfaces so our bodies with all of their curves are never just one shade of any color.

Thanks for the crit. jinx. I agree with what you mentioned about the skin tone. I had trouble deciding what I wanted to do for that: whether to go for a more 'life like' look, or the look I have (more of a warm monotone).

One of my favorite things about figure drawing (in color) is finding those 'unexpected' blues and greens in the figure's skin tone - It can actually be quite beautiful sometimes! Very Happy
