Description
This digital painting will be the first in a series of 12, hopefully done in time to make a calendar for next year
The inspiration for this piece is a little bit Mucha, a little bit Susan Sedon Boulet, and maybe too much bird-watching recently
Many thanks to those of you who offered such great suggestions early on with my WIP

This is so unbelievably gorgeous!!! This should seriously be a print. Love the feathers on her arm. I can't wait to see what's next!

Thanks, Dear! It is a print, and if I get the okay from one of the stockers, I *might* make it a t-shirt design as well...I'm thinking it might look cool
It's definitely going to be part of a calendar.
I've got the second one in the works now...it's theme is 'Dove'
How's your four seasons going?

Sounds awesome!
I'd say I'm about 70% done with the drawing, but I plan on painting it in PS when I'm done. Her dress is hanging me up because the pose of the model I used as a reference is sitting with her torso at an odd angle. I can't quite figure how to get her dress to look right.

I can't wait to see it....I'm having a similar problem with a dress on one I'm working on now....can't figure out how to make it 'drape' properly
