Description This is my latest commission, which I've been working on for Robert Burr. He sent me some photo references for the person, make up, hair and the costume style and asked for the dress to be blue and silver.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

Oh, you did good job on her hair! And the skin is coloured very well, I really adore the way you do it!! Overall it's a good drawing, but these were two things I wanted to mention specially

Lmao, I have no idea what you're referring to, but any mention of Tom Jones always brings the lulz! Haha.

aw geez, I'm really just envious of your harmonious colours! The birght lively tones you choose for skin, the spread of colours throught out a huge dress design, with complementing lighting too Your strokes with hair are so detailed D:

Velven In reply to JesnCin [2010-11-09 01:05:55 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have a nifty trick that helps keep all mu colours harmonious - I always use a slightly colour tinted overlay on a low opacity as my top layer. It helps blend everything together!

Also, I think I may have an OCD about detailed hair!
