"a scent and a song"
second drawing of the 2011
the dress took me a long time XB
time elapsed: 7 hours
tools of the trade: paint tool sai & wacom intuos 4

*reference for the eyes and mouth

a familiar sound WIP

this was the first part, the lineart. I wanted some very strong lines and brown tones for this one, for the background i used one of my textures, here's the reference image i used, it was almost exactly what i was looking for ;)


with the basic lineart done i started adding the shadows and light, it still looks kinda funny.


now i have a more defined face, the right side is almost finished and i just have to adjust the light and add more deep shadows, i also already added the eyelashes and very soft eye make up.


now the skin is done and i added all the shadows and light and now i wanted some hair, i used the pen to draw it. i also darkened the background to create a higher contrast.

it's almost done, added stroke to the hair (few parts only) and i started to draw several roses (actually i drew just one, then i started to copy them)


and the final piece, the left side is slightly erased to create a nice effect, the roses fade into the background and i added some sort of bokeh :3

it's all drawn in paint tool sai <3
it took me about 7 hours in total
