Water Nymph Study

A second-stage drawing I did for a Water Nymph study for the Opera Rusalka.

March 11 Creativity

Just something I did while bored last night. Graphite, Micron Pen, Sharpie, Red Ink, Gray Ink Felt Pen.

Rusalka: Vodnik Head

Early preliminary idea for Vodnik. Thinking of thinning the mustache and adding a full beard, incorporating shells, beads, and braids. Actors face is completely unseen, but he may see through the opening for the mouth. This is a mask incorporated with a headdress.
