My most recent venture.
This is my good friend Laura. I wanted to do a portrait of one of my friends, and i was very pleased when i found a good high quality photo to work from. I was particulary drawn to it because of the pretty sparkly eyeshadow she has on.
The idea was to paint every detail exactly as it was. To be honest I did get kinda dristracted towards the end and i probably could have put a little more detial in.
I showed laura and i think she likes it. Hope you do too.
For the near future Im gonna hold off on more human studies, and attempt some landscape matte painting type things.
Time - took around 9 hours to complete over a period of 6 days.
tools - Photoshop cs3 and the cheapest tablet money can buy.
I like it - especially the eyes - very nice work. Only the down part of the face (nose, lips - colour) seems me a bit unfinished compare the upper part.
