Ripple - Listen to the Ocean

It's a long time since I've posted here - this a submission for Illustration Friday's theme of 'Ripple' and Kelly Light's initiative of  artist's sketch-cards to be sold for a $10 donation to The International Bird Rescue Research Center.

Plain

This is my second attempt at this topic - the first wasn't nearly as plain as this - see previous post on how I got here.
P.S. - THEN I had to just do one more - see next post

1st attempt at Plain

I did this one first for the 'Plain' topic... don't know if Claudia Schiffer ever has days like this, but I sure do!...it's not meant to be a self-portrait, but I did have to get reference from the mirror, unfortunately :-(

I had done a little sketch to plan it, and then decided

that it had a really plain and simple quality that

would suit the theme better, and I liked the way

the mirror looks like a 'plain' body - no arms

and legs to clutter it up, so that led to my final

version, which I will post after this...
