Assignment 2 - Developing further test pieces - Damask

This image combines an earlier rough drawing with an image of woven damask material - again rendered in photoshop,  just to see if there is any potential in taking this further.

Again, the fabric is a weave but it is a far cry from the humble cotton used in shirt manufacture.  Silk and linen damask is expensive and at one time, was a highly sought after commodity.  The juxtaposition of the 'upmarket' fabric with the head hints at elevating the female to a higher social level.  The pattern of the fabric also seems to mirror the shape of the head.  It might be interesting to try wrapping the pattern so that it follows the line of the features.
