On the Street……Chinatown, NYC.
I knew a month ago when I saw this that I wanted to change the top of her jacket into a bear, but I never thought it would take me into the realm of fantasy with fire and ice. In the end, I really wanted to portray her as a soul trapped within the bear, whose rage was consuming her beauty, commanding her to destroy the ones she loved.

On the Street……Layers of Grey, NYC.
This photo really inspired me because I loved the non-stop shades of greys and browns. Also, the model has a beautifully long neck and a hint of sea-green eyes that I could just fall into. The slight smirk, above it all, look on her face seals the deal in my book. It also gave me a chance to experiment with some charcoal brushes in my lines, and to stay really loose, not focusing on the details too much.
