So here is a sketch/study of Lana Del Rey ... I've been trying to portray her for a couple months now. Its tough, she's different from anything I normally paint.
The final maybe tweeked abit in minor details. I hope to start her soon, I love this part of the process. Where I'm wondering, "Can I do this?" "How am I going to execute this?"
The thrill?

Hey folks!
As of late I have found inspiration in my newest muse, Lana Del Rey. Her look embodies that of which I admire and long to recreate with in my art. Her being a redhead is what has drawn my attention to her, and her music is haunting yet adorable. Like a melodic Nancy Sinatra.
Lana Del Rey is now one of my dream models and dream clients. I'd love to do work for her some day.
(My other dream model is Penelope Cruz.)
I've included a small study I did in watercolor and pencil. I hope to paint the full piece soon.
