Very nice! Your mom was so cute! She kind of reminds me of Anna Paquin, based on this photo. See: [link] (personal opinion though)

Beautiful artwork

Thanks! I can definitely see a resemblance there, though in reality there probably isn't much.

i saw that u used to use a program called painter 7 ..so i thought i should download it but i think that u now use photo shop ..so what i wanna ask is ..do u find photo shop better ?

burncomics In reply to ahsae [2011-12-19 23:55:48 +0000 UTC]

Painter is a great tool, but it has a lot of limitations. I like it for the oil paint tolls, which let you simulate the mixing of paint on a canvas very convincingly. But I've always needed photoshop to finish my paintings, so I just started relying on photoshop more and more. The mixer brush in Photoshop CS5 is similar to the oil paints, but I haven't been able to get it working quite as good as Painter.

Nice, at first look I thought it was something like a stylized drawing of Audrey Hepburn or someone like that. Shows what I know.
Although your Mom would probably be happy to hear that. Haha

Thanks so much, Monica! That really means a lot to me. I really wanted to capture the vintage feel of it with the limited pallet, but still add some style.

This looks a lot like my mom's graduation photo!!! And her name is Diana!!! Coincidence, no? Did your mother graduate in 1963, too?

burncomics In reply to Chaosfive-55 [2011-08-03 21:12:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, she was 18 in '63, so probably! Same hair style?

Just worked with the reference photo, tried to capture a likeness and exaggerate features to give it style, while not losing the likeness. Hope it worked out!
