Description Started this ages ago and it came to an abrupt halt, so I dusted it off for another shot.
This is my first serious attempt at painting realistic hair.

I'm really pleased with the final look. In some ways it's quite similar to the Scarlett Johannson piece - in terms of the angle of the head and the colour palette.

Yeah, it's kind of an old piece but I've always liked how the hair turned out!

I hadn't quite gotten my skin texture process worked out when I did this one. It was all about the hair.

When I painted Elisha, it was the hair and the skin. Yeah... I like to make things difficult for myself!

I'm glad you like the hair! This was my attempt at producing hair that looked realistic rather than stylised. If you check out the progress shots, I go a little way into explaining how I did it. [link]

Thanks so much!

I have to admit, the hair in this piece is probably the best I've done. On other portraits I was formulating my own technique, finding my way, but with this one, I think I found it.

Thanks again.

first Elisha, now Tea? man, you have an uncanny nack for preempting women I adore. Well, just as you did with Elisha you nailed Tea man. Hair is a helluva hard thing to capture in art, and I'm thinking you've either got it or getting closer to your goal man. Your works on these profiles are amazing...I look forward to commenting on your other pieces as well. ;D*
