Shore Lines

This sketch is partly from a reference photo, partly just me drawing it in the way I'd like. I think having a reference helps you avoid your own standard lines, and in my case helps it look more natural. I love a natural pose, but when I draw it on my own without a reference it can look a bit stiff. Her face is all mine, though- The original reference had her looking in a completely different direction. I like how it looks like she and her man are having a conversation by the shore.
