This is a girl I got to know through my boyfriend. Since I saw her the first time I always thought she was very pretty and colourful. She has something special. As she celebrated her birthday this weekend I did this drawing for her. It wasn’t all that easy since it was a surprise and I couldn’t ask for quality photos of her since it was to be a surprise. I had to use some rather small photos of her around the net to make a special drawing for her. I do feel happy with the most part.
I had troubles adjusting the colours as I just got a new monitor and I can’t seem to find the right settings yet. It’s a little difficult choosing the right amount of darkness and red nuances. I guess it will be easier when I have used it for some time.
Made with soft pastels and charcoal.
