Rhine Maiden

Here's another piece from a long time ago. It's from a series on Scandanavian mythology I did for school. I was always experimenting back then. Looking at this old stuff critically, I think I would abandon an idea before I fully saw it through. I also didn't do much planning back then. I had a pretty good understanding of anatomy but would stretch it all out of proportion, it's only now that my sense of anatomy is becoming more conservative. I don't believe my approach to colour has changed much, I still have a pretty haphazard way with colour. The composition is interesting to me because it's pretty kinetic, my work from that time was stiff.
