New painting to start the New Year

2nd January 2016 at 3:33 pm

Dear Chibi,

Happy New Year everyone :) I spent my New Years day doing a portrait painting of Liu Yifei (Yes, it’s her again!) Click on the image below for a slightly larger view :D

I don’t like to think about how long it takes me to do a painting, because it always makes me feel inadequate ^^” I DO THIS FOR FUN OKAY, PLS DON’T JUDGE. XD I find painting hard, even when using a reference image.

Anyway, I’m really happy with how this one turned out! :D My favourite part is the left eye (her right eye). Funnest part to draw was the hair.

Work in progress

I kind of slacked off toward the end, with the shoulders and lower half of the painting ^^” Too tired. Please forgive me 8D I hope you like it too!

    That’s beautiful! You’re so talented! Don’t worry, someone who can only draw stick figures (me!) cannot judge you for mistakes that aren’t even visible!

    beautiful image!

    How long did it take you to draw? And what tools did you use?

    Best wishes Nadine

      Thanks Nadine!
      I did the whole thing using Photoshop CS4 and my wacom tablet :) Everything was just painted on one layer though.
