Melanie - the personification of freedom, love and beauty...
Melanie was the one to open Jeanette's eyes to her sexual orientation, the one who was Jeanette's first real love. She made her question her life up to date in her religion and her family life.
Melanie to me is a symbol for beauty, a girl who changed Jeanette's life for the better. Her presence in the second image of the photo shoot will be almost ghostly yet lovingly.
The first image I drew of her was this one below. Her hair is wavy, soft and light and natural, rests behind her shoulders and out of her face.
The face is contoured with freckles, innocent looking but softly contoured with blush cheeks.
Her lips will look red stained to represent love, passion but also danger.
The eyebrows will be brushes up in a natural way but present on the face to show structure reflecting how she helped Jeanette build her own identity.
Another version of Melanie I created was one much stronger looking and defined. The lips look like bold red petals and the contouring on the face is much heavier and the eyebrows are darker contrasting against the skin and hair.
The hair is more textured than the previous drawing but it has more control and structure.
Examples of the look I am wanting to create:
Catherine McNeil for Vogue Paris
These lips, look like they're a velvet texture, and the natural looking eyebrows
The dreamy appearance of this photograph, the innocence
This texture of hair, these kind of 70's untamed curls
