Elise after Caretta

Just doing a bit of sketching and I wanted to have a go at a different style. I have a few books on pinup art at home but I recently picked one up about the art of Fernando Caretta.

Caretta is an Italian artist with a distinctly European style. I love the sketchy line quality and the way he draws figures. Sometimes he draws 'em a bit young and creepy but otherwise his work is awesome.

This is my tribute to his style. And being the huge gamer that I am, I thought about how many games you play where for the most part, you are looking at the characters' asses.

Anyway, one of the best asses a few years back was SSX's Elise. She's making a comeback soon in the reboot of SSX so here's to seeing more of her!
