Description Woah more Ehsay realism? And it's not a man???!!!!

Yep it's one of those rare instances where I drew a woman!!!! (cuz guys won't let me take pics of them for me to draw...>.<; ) She posed,I snapped a pic...a week later it's been painted on canvas...
This is a photo of a pic I just finished (in all it's crappy camera quality) with experimentation in painting and color!
And yeah I know I have color isolation problems...but it's sorta my style..

Plan to use this for my portfolio!yep yep...^^
-------------------------------------

The model: my dear friend KK-chan( ) but I doubt she'll ever see it on here cuz she's never on lol!

time taken: about 8 hours I would guess

media- Acrylic paints (no thinners used at all)

Wow, I'm really impressed by those hands. I like the different colours you've blended to get such a great looking skintone. Her facial features look nice as well! Awesome painting.

This is really impressive--you definitely have some skills with those acrylics! The lighting is absolutely the best part of this piece; the contrast between light and dark is just intense, and in a good way. You really conveyed these values incredibly well. The details on the subject are captured very well, too--the realism shows and you've got the proportions well intact. Definitely worthy of your portfolio.

(And if you need photos of women to work from, I'm sure I can dig something up for you! )

Thanks Shadi I'm working on another realism acrylic painting as we...well...speak.Type.yeah.
My teacher said my colors were very isolated (and I know that but I can't help it lol ) but still makes an amazing portfolio piece apparently.
As for photo reference...hey I'll take any I can get! If you've taken pics and you'dlike to see me draw/paint/etc them then I'd be glad to take a look at them! My e-mail is key2thelight@yahoo.com
Thanks so much Shadi!

I totally lose at not commenting late. ; Anyway.

Wow. This freakin' rocks. I am most impressed by the way you captured the quality of the lighting, especially with her hair and how it's backlit and almost seems to glow. You did fab work on the skin, too. Especially the hands.

mad-raeh [2007-01-16 14:04:53 +0000 UTC]

Well i think the change of colors/shadows is a bit too strong, but that's my personal thought Maybe you did not want to do it the soft way. Still really nice, though and i think you desreve a fave for this piece, Meggie ^^

DarthMoll [2007-01-16 03:10:30 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, I thought that was watercolor! You have done a fantastic job here, Meg. That is an incredible portfolio piece. Well done. The skin tones are spot on and I love how you got the hair to work. You should be very proud of this.
