This drawing began as a fleeting impression from a TV re-run, of someone answering an old style cell phone. I got a glimpse of hand position and head and then the scene changed. I'm afraid it's badly overworked trying to get the feel, and the head is starting to look very Manga. I gave her bracelets to increase the 3-D effect of her wrist and tried to imagine how it would feel to hold the phone. After this, I need an antidote: drawing something very loosely and freely.By way of contrast I recommend the March 15, 2005 post entitled "Gravesite Serenade" of anthonyzierhut.com/blog. It is wonderful because he saw something while driving, for one second and in that eternal moment collected what he needed to record the scene in the cemetery. See if you don't agree it is inspiring. It takes a consummate professional, or a relentless observer to be this open. That must be an essential element: the open attitude, because there isn't time to "get open" and then record something like that. It's too fleeting.

Here's the info you requested. M=MaimeriBlu and WN = Winsor and Newton.
Yellow: M Primary Yellow | WN Winsor Yellow, WN Trans Yellow
Orange: WN Winsor Orange RS | WN Winsor Orange RS
Red: M Primary Red, M Verzion Violet | WN Quinacridone Magenta, WN Permanent Rose
Purple: M Ultramarine Blue Light | WN French Ultramarine Blue
Blue: M Primary Blue | WN Winsor Blue
Blue-Green: M Cupric Green Light | WN Winsor Green BS, Winsor Green YS
These are all pure pigments. I'm also using a pure-pigment red-violet for an additional "purple". I'm using the WN Orange RS with the Maimeriblu paints. The secondary palette info was garnered from http://www.handprint.com .
Hope this helps.
