Description The second of four works themed by the seasons.

Another girl with a big dress... Autumn came out really melancholic; in poetry this season has often been associated with melancholy. The possibilities of summer are gone, and the chill of winter is on the horizon. Skies turn grey, and people turn inward, both physically and mentally.

We don't have well-definied seasons where I live (it's pretty much eventual rain and killing heat and bright sun), but I feel a conection with Autumn since I was a kid. I love the color of the leaves as we see in pictures and movies...

Two days of work. I did a mix of pictures to create a base and start to draw using it as reference. Keri Russell is the model to the face. I know, i don't change my models a lot (Keri, Rahcel Bilson and Jewel). It happens because I consider these 3 the most beautiful women around and I have tons of high quality pics of them... ^^

Open Canvas and PSP.

I'm very happy with the results, I love the way the dress and her face look. I the entire pic ^^.
