Description

This piece has been created with help of a reference - one of the artwork by Linda Bergkvist. I find her art very appealing.Needles to say - here is my piece.
Well, You know what they say - practice , practice ,practice.I have not had a lot of time on my hands lately, but I'm hoping that I'm getting somewhere with that...
Thanks for comments.I find them very useful .

P.S. Look at "Padawan training "- i have fixed few things since first post,,,

You have to be very careful when painting portraits framed like this. Her 'closeness' to the viewer makes this a very intimate picture, yet the blankness of her expression makes her distant and cold making this very uncomfortable to look at....My first reaction as it loaded was 'WHOA!...back off!!'

You might be surprised, but when I was halfway there I wanted her to look like she is about to throw a hissy fit. So it might work after all- but I seriously never thought of " closeness" in that particular way .Thank You.

I hardly can find any similiarity to "blue eyes", although it IS the picture from the skin colour tutorial..

use more smaller brushes for the hair, cus these look more like noodles. And even if it is the nose, avoid shading with black, that will give it an artificial and unrealistic touch..
