This is a development of the hairstyles idea, using simplified solid shapes and textures and patterns to push this idea further. I like the introduction of the microphone because it is a symbol to show that she is a singer and this would make her character more easily identifiable. It would also balance the composition in a portrait frame as it shows where the mouth would normally be.
I quickly painted these shapes in gouache. I wanted to see what I could come up with when drawing from photographs and being selective with what I put onto paper. I think this was a successful exercise because it got some more idea flowing and made me think more about how I was translating what I was seeing in a photo into a drawing.
Gouache experimentation - I love how versatile gouache is so it was really good to work with and seeing the difference in effect of the watered down paint and the paint in its neat form with a strong colour.
