Pre-Raphaelite paintings have been one of my biggest art inspiration since forever- The beautiful portrayal of the female subject as well as the symbolism in the paintings are what appeal to me the most. I have had a picture of this portrait painting (Choosing by George Frederic Watts) saved in my phone from awhile ago, so I decide to recreate it.
Part of me wanted to recreate this as a practise for drawing side profile. I aim to challenge myself to draw my characters out of my comfort zone and in different poses.
