This was going to just be a sketch on printer paper, but I liked how the sketch came out so much I ran with it and finished it for the pinup. Then things got difficult.

I wanted to try something a little different this month, so I made the pinup after the classic BBW Brooke. If I could only tell you how important a figure Brooke was in my early exploration of the whole FA/BBW thing... let's just say, very important. I thought I ran into trouble making it look like Brooke, but most of you seemed to recognize her so I guess it's okay?

This demonstrates yet another method of shading I'm trying out. Still don't know what I'm doing, but I think I've learned some lessons from the process. I made the colors high contrast and high saturation on purpose, because that how most the photos I have of Brooke look. I wanted it to look sort of like an old picture.

I'm not sure what to do with the pinups from this point on. I might do a couple more classic BBW tributes, as that seems to be a rich ground of inspiration. Who knows! I hope this little love note to Brooke pleases and delights, thanks for the support guys.

Also, quick question: I didn't feel that I made this look enough like Brooke, how did so many people recognize her??

Also also, if you're not familiar with Brooke, you can still find lot of her at [link] and [link]
