Description A portrait I drew of a very beautiful (in so many ways) friend of mine.
I started this off as a warm up exercise and it actually started to form up nicely... so I continued to refine and render everything to my liking.
There are still aspects of the image I'm not too happy with but considering I been having a rough time keeping myself feeling good I feel this is still a successful image.

I may still tweek a few things in Photoshop... including color corrections and changing up the background/canvas slightly... I feel it still needs something.

I used a few ideas from reading ImagineFX and used a halftone brush from Advanced Photoshop #63

I think your shading leveled up * 0 * Seems like you paid more attention to the contrasts that occur on the skin. Looks pretty sweet~!
