Had an image of a dried stem that was twisting in the wind that I ran through the twirling action from long ago only I twirled both times in the same direction. Did a crop. Used a few tools in Liquify to define the shape just a little bit and there you have it.
Hey Jules,
I'm a huge fan of very graphic presentations and this is no exception. I looked very closely at this one....what I really like are the soft flowing lines within the shape...leading to the kiss! The left figure (male)....even has the stronger flow of the brighter lines......not as delicate......and I guess that was the point! .... and maybe I'm reading to much into this(to much art school!)....but very nicely done!
