Wanted to do something that had really dark lighting on one area.
Drawn in sketchbook from photo and painted in Painter, I referred to the photo abit whilst painting so I could check the lighting.
Lighting is something I need to learn more about.
Was fun though, probably do more of em in the future.

Thanks Denz :)
I used two brushes for this, the digital airbrush to block in main areas of colour then I did the majority of it with the captured bristle varient (under acylics). Also, I used the soft blender stump for blending

The sketch isnt much to look at at, but its here-

Note that I upped the contrast heavily so you can see it easier.

a great piece makk, not over the top but very expressive, reminds me of linda bergkvist's work, im sure if you put in several more passes it would be getting close to that standard. that said theres always something appealing about loose lines, so its up to you. the only thing that i find nagging is the ghosting of the shoulders and hair on the background, it just seems to detract from the form of the girl. thats it though, looking forward to seeing more improvement in your next work.
