the process

im gonna go ahead and show yall (whoever decides to look at this...prolly no one at all but oh well) the process of my art work. usually i start with a picture of the outline or skeleton then follow with pictures of the shading and then the finished product. this particular picture was a senior graduation present for a cousin of mine.

normally i'd have a picture of the full outline but i had already started when i remembered to take a photo so here you can see how the eyes begin. 

with the eyes finished (for now) i can show the entire face and its outline. 

(*note! i did this very backwards, i should've started by laying a base shade for the flesh but i was hasty and went straight to my favorite part) 

a close up of the eyes :)

here, i've most of the detail in the face. clearly, i can't draw lips all that amazingly...i'm working on it though xD

anyway! i have the nose and eyebrows and ear finished, even added a little earring (the first detail!!!) 

now i'm done with the flesh and face and what not..or so i thought

a close up of the finished face and hair

before, i thought i was finished but i decided to stick to my latest obsession, flowers. so i added a bouquet in her hands and gave the hair a bit more color and detail. my hands need some work, they look kind of frumpy :/

and here is a close up of the final products hands and face. 

oki doki! this post is finished! thanks for reading!!!
