I am planning on doing another Tiki Girl painting soon and these are a few quick sketches. You can check out the painting I did last year here.

These girls were inspired by the look of Sixties singers like Helen Shapiro, Ronnie Spector and Dusty Springfield.
Medium: PITT oil based pencil and watercolours/acrylics on 230gsm watercolour paper
These are my rough development sketches. First I drew the basic pose (left) then on detail paper refined and stylised it further (right).
Method: After I was happy with my refined sketch I transferred it via light box onto watercolour paper using blue Col Erase pencil. Went over the blue line with a Pitt oil based pencil (extra soft). They work well on watercolour paper. Painted using W&N watercolours (pan set) with a little opaque acrylic on the dress, shoes and the gloves.

These pages are from my Moleskine. I have been looking at a book on The Supremes so some of these girls turned into nightclub singers.

These are my first two roughs.
Heres my final version all ready for inking. Col-erase pencil on bristol board.
inked with Calli black ink and sable brush.
I erased the blue pencil and painted it with watercolours. The colours were adjusted in Photoshop to give it a more retro feel.
Two more girls inspired by big eyed art.
