Pin-up girl

Hello,
These are some of the sketches for project 3 in my illustration class.
We were supposed to pick a person that was "large than life" and do a piece based on that person

I Choose Vilma Banky, she was a 1920's silent film starlet.
Originally I was looking for a pin-up girl and found Vilma on Wikipedia. I recognized her from the film "The Son of the Sheik" and I was like, she is awesome!

I really like the blue bottom center sketch but, I think the top red sketch has more of the pin-up quality I am looking for.

The final piece will be on a piece of a bamboo window shade(I found it on clearance for $7!) using acrylic paint.
