Description
Yes. Maddie, defiant. That explains my 5 year old daughter to tee. This is my second finished painting done entirely in Photoshop from scratch. I listened to the advice given on my first attempt and stayed away from the dodge and burn tools and used mostly airbrush and hard edged brushes. I love the result. I used a few reference photos, sketched and scanned. I wanted everything in the picture to identify with my daughter - from her defiant expression to her bare feet in the grass. The love of outdoors, and the love of dinosaurs (ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, and she'll tell you, without hesitation, I want to be a paleontologist). This one took a while - but, I guess when you are painting someone you love - that;s just the way it is. I hope I did good, and please do not hesitate to give critiques - good or bad. I appreciate them all. And thanks to all the people who commented on my last attempt - your words led me in a good direction. Please give a click on the full version - you can see some nice details.

Oh my God! That's amazing! Painted from scratch in Photoshop? I am very impressed at your talent! The cloth and skin tones are good enough, but your background sky and the very detailed grass are also top notch. This is an instant favorite, and I wish you could teach us all how it's done!
