Anita Berber- Creating our image of her before the famous painting.

We were given a brief to create Anita Berber how we thought she would have looked before she had her portrait painted by Otto Dix.
For me I imagined her not yet to have been to bed. In a way I could picture her forgetting she had the painting scheduled and rushing around last minute.
Her hair would be untidy as she was a dancer on the stage I picture it to be up yet falling down from lack of care and partying all night.
Her makeup would be the same as what she wore the night before as she hasn't taken it off. With this is mind it would have to be quite vampy as she was preforming on the stage. The dark eye makeup she would have worn that night I could imagine has started to slide underneath her eyes from the sweat she has produced with the stage lights being on her and the heat of being around lots of people taking drugs and drinking(obviously she would be joining in). Her skin would have slight redness from her constant drinking and 'drinking veins' would start to show.
Her lips would be very thin and a dark colour nothing too bright as I see Anita Berber to be a mysterious person and dark colours works well with that.

Redness from drinking. 

Inspiration For Final Image

 From this picture I took inspiration for the hair. I like how flat it was at the top of her head then the curls by her ears were so big and frizzy.






















Her eyeshadow really intrigued me here to me it looks like two different tones. I'm going to try and use two different tones in my final design.

First Assessment

The skin is shiny from the lights in the club. The lips are fading and lipstick look gross. The eye shadow has started to fall underneath her eyes. However the redness on the cheeks hasn't shown up as much as I would have liked it too. 

Second Assessment

Continuity wise I feel I've done alright. The lips are different as in my first image I've made the bottom lip bigger. The hair on my models left side is also a bit bigger in my second picture and not as flat the the head. Apart from those two slight tweaks i'm proud of what I've achieved,
