Description
This is a portrait of the beautiful

I've been wanting to do a portrait photo study with a twist for a while now, and when I saw *crouching-kitty 's gorgeous portrait photo I had to ask if I could paint it. And, as you might guess, she said yes.

I haven't painted a portrait from ref in a very long time. I've been concentrating on using different styles and learning new techniques. I've learned a lot this last year, but I'm still horrible with proportions and I decided it is time I do some photo studies again. But I still wanted to continue experimenting with different styles and decided to try to paint in a way that was both realism and stylized. I think and hope I succeeded. At least it was fun doing it! ^_^

I spent for ever on this, I am such a slow painter >_<
Tools: Wacom Intuos4, Sai, Painter X and colour adjustment in CS4.
Time: Lost count, but at least 20.
