It was really hard narrowing this jam down to just 3 images, since there are so many fantastic images of Bettie.

WOW, it doesn't get much better then betty page.

Great photos to choose from. Must have been extremely difficult to narrow it down.

Panel - you can contribute anytime. People even post months later but you might not get as many comments.

Glad you guys dig the subject of this Jam. Bettie is just amazing, I wonder if anyone will ever outshine her as the pin up girl. Probably not

Anyway, I'm really glad to be back and participating in this Jam. Looking forward to see everyone's work!

Maverikanim - Love it! Fantastic job.

Everyone else - get to it!

Christ did you two set the bar high enough?

I almost don't even want to post mine. I had been getting rusty so I decided to give all three a stab with some quick sketches.

Not my best gal sketches. :oops:

Love the hands on the middle pic Gothkit. Exquisite!

thanks Moonman You have some great toes on yours!

Bettie I've always found a good challenge to draw so don't beat yourself up.

Burn and Maverikanim have indeed set the bar in the stratosphere. Very inspiring. Those are two knockout takes on a knockout babe. Those pieces just ooze confidence and sexiness. Sweet figure studies there Moonman and Gothickitsine.

Wish I could have done Betty more justice. She came out looking more like MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island. Probably should have gone with a more conventional outfit too.

Hey, a drawing jam! Why I haven't seen a Betty Paige drawing jam in years it seems. Hmmm... I can't even find the old Betty Paige caricaturey, pen and inky thing I did all that time ago. Ah well, here's a quick sketchy deal of good ol' Betty.

And hey, some crits! (by the way, I don't tend to just say "awesome" when I do crits...)

maverikanim Nicely done, simple, graphic, plenty of personality.

BurnComics Not bad. I'd like some crisper shadowing to go with them sharp lines, but that's a preference thing.

gothickitsune The second one's decent. Eh, if you're gonna do a quick sketch, loosen up and try to work the forms as opposed to the contours. The basics are there, but they feel flat.

Red Rook From the shoulders down, that's a damn good drawing. That is a tough angle on the face with a strange expression, and you made a valiant effort, but yeah. I particularly like the butt to the left leg. Great connections and sense of space there.

This is my first drawing Jam, Heres a rough pencil version. Some great stuff up here!

by **fish** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:35 pm

thanks for the new jam (: here she is.

(my own crit: i could've been more careful with her fishnets, i'm not totally sure what's happening between her arms, and i wish i'd have tilted her head back more.)
