Next Stage Silhouettes

Once i'd gotten a good idea of how I wanted my with to look like, i started to develop the silhouettes into the next stage, this meant using the chosen silhouettes and taking them to the next stage, i took a grey colour and create a shape out of the blobs in my previous work, i tried to give them a more ghost look than yurei, i kept referencing the book i rented from the library to get the poses right, the end result was this.

Once i was finished with those i choose my three favourites out of these to take to the next stage by adding some values and highlights here and there.  At this point i'd gotten used to the graphics tablet by now, so it didn't take me as long to finish them, after looking at a lot of youtube tutorials on how to draw silhouettes well i was able to get an end result. 

Moving on to the next stage of the silhouette making, i decided that instead of trying to create a new character silhouette from the one's i had made, i combined the three of them into one major silhouette, i then started thinking of how her character came to be like this, e.g. the soldier cut her up and now she wanders the forest slowly fading away. It was difficult to find a value colour for the staff to show that the main source of light was hitting that, but of course the main iterations come a bit later.
