Chloé - Éclairage

Sorry, I know there were commissions to do, but I seriously haven't gotten a chance to draw this whole week and I had to draw something for myself. Back to commissions next. :)

 Everyone's favorite Citroen, Chloé has never slowed down her hobby of  self photography, and today I managed to snag one of her newest uploads  from her blog, it's entitled "Éclairage" or "Illumination/Lighting" in  English.
 

For those of you not familiar with Chloé's work, understandable as it's  been awhile since I last had something of her submitted. She's highly  involved in the French art scene and enjoys photography specifically.  She's mostly interested in the moody emotional sort of photography, the  sort you might find an emo college girl making on Deviantart lol. She  prefers monochromatic styling in her work as, in her own words on her  blog, "it allows everything in a photo to  dissolve together becoming one, a simple emotion filling the entire  space. It minimizes implied meaning, blanketing the scene in ambiguity."
 

She typically doesn't like to leave descriptions under her images, this  one for example. As he finds it much more enjoyable to hear what meaning  different individuals make of it themselves. Feel free to make your own  interpretations below btw, I'll forward them to her. ^^

I love drawing things for Chloé, it really lets me take a break and draw  something that feels more traditionally artsy and meaningful, even if  it's just a manufactured emulation of artsyness. Plus I actually like  shading in grey-scale, it's pretty interesting. Plus the thing about  French girls as we were told by Jack Dawson lol.. they all love to take  their clothes off. So I get to feel cultured, but not have to sacrifice  drawing some of my usual nudity in there too. X)
 

I'm also quite proud to have a Citroen character, I feel like it's one  of those very under-used cars in drawings. I'm proud to be representing  one here. :)
 

Also, I believe this is the first time I've drawn lipstick on one of my characters!
