Body art: dragon painting

Description

I made it for a subject (to the art university) which was body painting. We were free to paint anything we wanted. I did not have much ideas so I painted something not very original but it pleases me. Here's the reference I used: [link]
Painting on the a body is difficult because we cannot erase if we make a mistake, we just have to make it out as we can. I painted with some make-up used for carnivals which can be washed with water.
The photo has been taken with these colours, I did not added them by computer. However, it has been saved with LD it was ugly, I just smoothed them.
About the photo: I tried to make a good pose, I found my inspiration thanks to a picture of a Kenji Mizoguchi movie called "Utamaro o meguru gonin no onna ", Five Women Around Utamaro in English. You can view the picture on this page: ([link]). I think I could also place this deviation to the photo category.

:bulletred: Painter: myself
:bulletred: Model: Sad

:bulletred: Photo place: my bedroom. I put a white vertical sheet to hide it. My carpet is red.
:bulletred: date: made in beginning of Janvier 2008 (around 4th or 5th)

That's very different of what I used to do, it is the first time i try some body arts that was cool. That's why art university is interesting: it is pity that we don't learn to draw but we deal original subjects. I realized that I reached the number of 40 deviations. I did not thought I would, because when I arrived on DA, I was persuaded I would delete the ones which have sink into oblivion, but I kept almost all of them. Perhaps later I'll tidy up my gallery to show only drawings which deserve to be shown.
