Ophelia

I've been having difficulty signing into this, for some reason...

I'm starting a painting of Ophelia from Hamlet because she is one of my favorite literary characters. It should be good practice in painting female figures (I'm sure I'll end up using myself/pictures of me as a reference, as usual). I haven't planned it out yet, though. I want to at least do a sketch first. Usually I only have a vague idea of what I want to draw or paint and I just see what happens and intuitively add and alter things as I see fit. I don't usually have much of a finished idea in my head. I won't this time, either, but I do intend to do a bit more planning than usual. It would probably help advance my technical ability, which is an important goal for me.
