Description
A quick portrait study (a bit more than 1h30, Photoshop, step-by-step available here ), based on a very nice photography from the website Pixelchrome Phototours (folder Ethiopia 2013). The owners of this site sell "phototours" to beautiful places around the world... Which sounds a lot like a dream job ^^The pictures they brought back from Ethiopia are beautiful, but sometimes hearbreaking too... So (to ease my conscience, I'm afraid), I'll conclude with these words: donate to charity, people!

J'aime beaucoup ta façon de peindre (d'ailleurs est-ce qu'on dit "peindre" avec Photoshop ?)

Je suppose, oui ! Après tout, j'utilise bien des brosses sous Photoshop, et les gestes sont assez proches de ceux qu'on fait en peinture traditionnelle... Même si ça sent nettement moins bon que de la vraie peinture ^^

Truly a wonderful piece of art!
The lady in this artwork seems to be smiling, however, it looks somewhat sad, as if she is remembering someone dear to her from the past

Thank you, I like your interpretation... There's a beauty in sadness, in bittersweet memories

That is true!
You're welcome by the way!

Statuesque. Very finely made facial features and good work on the necklace, folds, and shading.

Thank you for your kind words! I wouldn't say I deserve all the credit for this work, though, since the reference picture looks amazing ^^
