My Chinese girfriend is always having her legs waxed. So one day I wondered what would happen if her legs were so smooth they were totally frictionless... So I asked her to pose for me as I sketched the idea directly into Illustrator CS3. It was a bit of a rush job...
Stage 3: Added more detail to ear, hands, footwear and shaped the legs and arms so they no longer look like ellipses. The inner ear is done using the spiral tool. Extra ellipses added to create a lip on the footwear.
