Artist's Comments

Just experimenting with some new digital tools. More blending that usual. For those bothered, references included pictures of Keeley, Giselle, Miss Mosh, and two others from private stock.

Thanks - though I admit I still have some way to go. :-)

Welcome, mind if I ask how you do the hair?
:iconbolsterstone:
No problem.

First, I selected some brush patterns that approximated natural brushes. The first two brushes I used had widely-spread out bristles, and the third had a finer brush pattern (ideal for the detail side of things). The colours selected were standard blonde hair colours sampled from three photo references (two tones of browny-grey, a slight off-white, a golden yellow and a yellowy-white). The last two were important for the secondary light reflected from the skin in her hair.

I first laid down the darker browny-grey 'flatter' colours first (look at the crown of her head to get an idea of the underpainting colour), and then I started working gradually towards the lighter colours, pausing midway to add in the touch of ear, before putting in the off-white highlights. Then to finish off, I switched to the golden colours for the under-tresses.

Hope that suffices.
