Description
Portrait of the wonderful for her birthday⦠Unfortunately, due to the insane amount of work I'm having at the moment, I couldn't finish it on time for her birthday
Something with a fresh spring atmosphere and more painterly than my usual work.
By the way, if you've sent me notes I've not replied yet, don't worry, I'll do so, when I'll find some spare time (I won't be able to do so for the next 2 weeks, but after this very hard period, I'll have some free time).
Photoshop CS3
Wacom Intuos 3A4
50/60 hours approximately
Reference used for the face, everything else is imagination.
Closeups : [link]
A WIP step : [link]
I think the lighting could use some fixing, I'll do so when I have free time.

Hi there
As it was done for a friend, this one is not for sale unfortunately.
Thank you very much for your kind words anyway

This is my favorite in your gallery. Maybe because its winter now and I need a little bit of spring (even if only a painted one!) But I think its mostly her sweet and lovely facial expression that does it.

i'm just starting out on the photoshop 11 and elements, i usually just do everything traditional and old skool but, someone just introduced me to the digital computer art world but, i had to say I really like your art skills -they're awesome,they're so realistic looking. I faved your art work and the tutorial so that maybe i can become as good at painting as you are (one day) so thanks for the tutorial...

Wonderfully done. I just noticed that you put the program that you used in your description. You are so skilled! That's why I like this place, seeing the artwork of artists like you and `athenatt to inspire me to do better!

The symbolism of the flowers in the piece [the magnolias' representation of the beauty of young ladies, and the sword lilies' three petals that each stand for faith/belief, wisdom and courage] really add to the admireable nature of the picture being intended as a birthday gift for a young woman.

I was wondering... could I use the pose and idea for a painting for my friends birthday? :>
It's not going to be a copy, I'm not like that.
And I could send you a note with how it turned out.
I just need something to cheer her up (and I'm tossed between this and painting her favorite character), last month wasn't greatest for her...

sure
I'd love to see how it turns out !
