Description Well, my Concept of my pencil version of this has changed rapidly. Not that I didn't like the other one... but there was something I didn't liked very much.

For those who know what I am talking about, here's the little story:
I once started a drawing with that concept seen here in pencil, went pretty well, was alomst finished until the lovely drawing had an accident with a glass of water. There was no way to save the drawing... After some time of thinking and getting my new tablet I decided to try it again in the digital way.

I changed many things: the hair, the features, the necklace (about 3 times while drawing , and the blood stayed out of this. In my eyes it's still not finished and I think I will work on it from time to time. It was wonderful to try a digital work again, still need to oractice many things, which I will certainly do on occation

I hope you like her. Done with my wonderful new tablet and photoshop 7 and my good old computer which isn't suited for that kind of thing anymore... the nagging about not enough volume made me nuts sometimes. Reference was my pencil drawing, which is now in the haven of destroyed drawings. One wip can be found in my scaps.

Very beautiful work. Her skin looks fabulous! The colours are wonderful together too. I would absolutely love to know what brush you have used on her skin to give it such a realistic texture? Amazing work, keep it up!

Thank you so much for the kind words. The texture is handmade and was a hell of work, but worht it. I think of doing for the skintexture a custom brush. As far as I know Kyena has some wonderful brushes on her page for download (Photoshop CS) there's also one which would be suitable for skin texture.

On LiveJournal and Sheezy. It's not about me. I saw someone being very cruel to someone else, and encouraging others to do the same.
