5-Elsa Obus-Translation, Imitation, Emulation

I copied The Toilet of Venus by Diego Velazquez. My favorite part about the original painting is the curves of Venus' body. I think they're so human and soft.

In my reproduction, after numerous (failed!) attempts at drawing human faces, which frankly I am not so good at but will work on, I decided to focus more on the movement of the background and leave the figures as pale shells. I think this actually still ended up accentuating the curves of the human form. I know it looks pretty different but I think it's interesting.
