Description More experimenting!I saw this picture of supermodel,Jessica Stam,and decided I'd like to have a go at trying it out,not using my regular medium of choice,#2 pencil. Since she had this crazy Ziggy Stardust-esque make-up on,I wanted to try color.I used watercolors,colored pencil,and pen. While working on this painting,I thought of The Rolling Stones' song,"She's A Rainbow," hence the title of the picture. All in all,it was pretty fun trying something new.

I hope ya'll like her as much as I do

Redbird,2008.

She's A Rainbow Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Rolling Stones
(Jagger/Richards)


She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
when She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
when She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Wow love this! I love the ziggy makeup, I really like the blend of the stylized parts like the lips and the watercolor of the makeup. Really awesome!

This is a technique that I've been using myself lately, I love the extra depth that using the coloured pencils & pen gives to the watercolour 'base'.

'She's a rainbow' is beautiful, her lips are amazing!

Wow this is really cool! The angle of the face you chose to draw is amazing! I am very envious of how you draw noses and lips lol!
Anyway, the make-up is wonderful too. As you said it is very Ziggy Stardust like. I like how all of the colors flow together and complament each other.

Very good job on this! It's nice to see you exprimenting with different mediums and making cool pictures with them too.

Lovely use of colors, Redbird. The blue make up arond the eyes reminded me of old school Dazzler at first but upon closer inspection it looks more like a female(?) Bowie. I remain inawe of your talent.

yeah...when i saw this the reference pic,i figured the make-up artist was going for something ala ziggy stardust.but it was a good opportunity to use lots of color,because despite me loving to use pencil,i LOVE color....i'm just not that good at it.jessica stam is a gorgeous model,so i really want to draw/paint her,and bowie style....i love david bowie.thank you so much
