Beauty hurts indeed. To all the slim women in the world out there. But also my wrists (it almost gave me cramp). I wanted to make a realistic painting this time. And I hope I deed a good job. It thought there never came a ending at all that blending. (almost started a fire on my scratschboard ;)) The character is based on a picture (off course, nobody can make that out of his head!). I tracked it, and got a hell of a work. Got hours spend on the face, the mouth and eyes (worked on pixel level). Got lazy again, and copied, the completed eye to the other side (thanks computer ;>) and blended some more. This picture was more a practise to perfect my technique. Hope you like it. O, and the background is bryce. O, almost forgot. the painting is made in painter.
