Welp. I dun it. Finish, that is.
Not what I originally intended, but it works regardless. The upside ofeverything was that I actually finished hours ahead of schedule.Happiness was had by all.
As the title implies, this is me. To get a couple questions I am oftenasked out of the way: Yes, the tattoo is really there, and really real.Yes, my eyes are really that blue; they aren't contacts.
This isn't meant to be a completely photographic rendering of me. Ifyou know me, it clearly looks like me, but I went for a slightlystylized version of myself. I went for light, airy, dreamy, and aboveall else, that sort of style that a lot of European women were paintedin before the Renaissance. I can't remember the stylization name, butwhere the women's features were slightly enhances. Think bigger eyes.And that's what I went for here.
This was a pain in the buns really. There are some really good thingsabout it and some not so good. At least, in my picky picky mind ofdoom. Overall though, I am happy.
Time Elapsed: 23 hours
Size: 19"x25"
Materials Used: Yarka pastels, fixatif, reference, lots of patience
