Wow! This is beautiful. I love the dark outline around the image that brings it all together, and the detail in the hair is incredible. ^^

WOW, WOW, WOW. I'm sorry if that's all I'm really ever able to say when I see your artwork but...WOW. I think the white acrylic in this just makes the whole image pop. It looks fabulous! Gosh! I just LOVE the way you did the hair!

I draw a lot and try harder with every new piece. I also started looking around for references, noticing people's hands and features and anatomy and try to fuse that with my own style. I'm glad to hear it pays off.

Achen089 In reply to ridshirr38 [2011-09-03 16:00:49 +0000 UTC]

Yes, for the highlights on her skin and hair and fabric. For the pearls i used white acrylic.

Achen089 In reply to RiseToTheWake [2011-09-01 10:47:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Do you have suggestions about what kind of sealer should i use? I don't know if the cardboard-like cover needs something other than the usual fixatives.

RiseToTheWake In reply to Achen089 [2011-09-01 23:03:09 +0000 UTC]

Well I'd think that normal fixative would work fine but seeing as this is a journal and most likely not going to just sit on a shelf or something it might need something else to protect it from any wear and tear.. I'm not really sure though.. Possibly one of those glosses/finishes that you have to paint on?

Achen089 In reply to RiseToTheWake [2012-05-16 19:07:03 +0000 UTC]

I eventually used a regular fixative spray and it seems to work. Thanks for your suggestions though.

Gooooorgeous. This appeals to all of my aesthetic preferences, not gonna lie. Gorgeous subtlety on her facial structure, and (because it can't be said enough) that hair!
