I'm calling this a WIP (work in Progress) because I am gonna go back and add a background at some point. I like most of the shading and coloring, but I think it needs a bit more. The only thing is that I am not quite ready to do it yet. I've been busy and will be even busier throughout this week. I don't wanna rush thought and put on a bad background. I'd rather let it sit and come up with something better after a while. I also think I need to put on a little darker shading. Its really hard to notice when looking at it right after you've painted it. Maybe that's the key. Paint it and let it sit for a while before you mark it as finished.
I tried to give her some realistic skin tones, while trying to not just use one color. There are reds and yellows and greens in in her skin. Believe it or not, the only brown i used is in her hair.
I also used 120 lb paper, which I don't normally use, but it was all I had on hand when I started. The paper has a different feel, and holds water differently. The grey that you see in the scan is from the paper being just off the scanner bed.
Well, I'm off for now. Enjoy.
