Illustration Friday: "Blue"

Illustration Friday: "Blue"
(pencil)
For this week's inspiration, I took Pablo Picasso's 1902 work entitled 'Blue Nude'. I had muled over what speaks to me most on this subject for several days. I started off with an Eastern Bluebird; but that was not capturing the artist in me at all. Then the famous "Blue Period" came to my mind. Inspired by Pablo Picasso's wonderful work, I wanted to see how she would come out in pure pencil, with little shading as indicated by his work. So, here you have it! I hope you like it!
