Description
This one is a study of a photo that I saw and thought it was the most beautiful picture I'd ever seen. For some reason though I picked an obscenely intricate dress to study XD But I did my best.The original picture is by Elizabeth May:

I was working on it on and off over the past week (probably when I should've been studying, but my 'quick breaks' sometimes turned over-long). I have one more exam left (tomorrow) so in the next couple of days I will post a journal with request info for my watchers

This really looks like the original c: I think it's fantastic looking. It has that right sense of realism. I figure this is one of your studies for my art trade? hahaha

Thank you so much! I'm glad you see the similarities because I pretty much copied exactly XD Or tried
Yes, it is. I figured with the stripes as a 'baseline' to go off, it would help me get a feel for how the folds work and where they go, you know? Hopefully it helped (I feel as if it did)!

Hi! I agree, it's a very eye-catching and amazing picture, and you captured it very well. I found the source, the artist is named Elizabeth May, and she has more pictures of the same girl. Link below.

Thank you so much, both for the compliments and finding the source! I did a bit of searching but with final exams literally upon me my time has been limited and stressful

You're welcome. For future reference, you can use Google Image search, where you drag and drop the picture you want to find the source of.

I did do something like that, but a bunch of Pinterest things came up so I gave up.
