Hello all! It's been a while! This was the picture I was supposed to finish by the end of Chinese New Year but, friends and holidays distracted me, hence, I just finished it today.
My first finished (sorta) painting done with my laptop, Bamboo tablet, mouse, and Corel Paintshop Pro X. It's a bit rough at the clothes and the hair and background part because I got lazy :( But I'll do better next time. heh.
Was inspired to draw this by Michelle Phan. I looked through her pictures in her Facebook fan page and saw her digital paintings. I was like, OMG she's so good at that, looks so realistic! So, I knew I had to try it! And it's surprisingly easier to paint faces on the computer than on paper because well, you can use editing tools, color, lighting, lightening, darkening, smudging effects to edit pictures to near perfection. But control wise, I think using a pencil is definitely easier. Maybe I should combine them.. draw with pencil, paint with computer.. hmm.. :D
Recognize the face? Haha, used her face as well. Though it doesn't look like her, she was a good model to use. Awesome makeup and perfect smile. Yeap, I'm a big fan.
Classes have started so, going to bed now. Till next time I'm free enough, I'll do another :D Wait for it!
xoxo
