A bit too funky

I was running late for the life drawing session. By the time I arrived at the studio, the session already started. I was quite taken back when seeing the model. She was wearing puffy white mittens and a dog-shaped shoulder bag. I think she was trying to be a cute kitten or something like that- a fairly common imitation seen among young girls in Taiwan and Japan.

I have to say the bag and the pose threw me off a bit. Although I didn't feel so while painting the model, I think the end result looks like a porn poster.

Again I was trying to apply what I learnt from watching Charles Reid's DVD. I put down some colours next to the model's head to show the white mitten. It's a trick I saw in the DVD but James doesn't like the arrangement. He finds the line too distracting. I personally quite like it, although I could have made the value lighter.  Guess this painting isn't gonna see too much day light from now on.
