Description A self portrait :3 Took about 2 Hours. Done entirely in Paint Tool SAI with my handy dandy Wacom Intuos 4. It's been AGES since I did one of these - it's based off a photo of myself (used for an avatar not that long ago actually...) completely with my current dyed hair color. lol <3 This is the actual size it was painted at.

(c) =DarlingMionette

Why is it upside down?: Cause I wanted to do something different :3

Tutorial Video: [link]

EDIT: Fixed certain aspects of her face to make it less lopsided/asthetically weird when right-side-up. Mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes, eyeshines, chin, and jawline were moved/adjusted/repainted etc.

It's always good to flip, turn and rotate pics around to see that it looks good from all angles. Eyes are so important. I almost always start rendering the eyes. If I can't gett them right I might as well scrap the whole portrait.

XD yah I always do that :3 but sometimes i just sort of flail and go "wtf.. how do i fix this" and it takes me awhile to conquer something that really bugs me :3 eye's are like usually the last thing I work on -_- skin first. lol

Eyes is usually something that people focus on so it's always a good idea to make them spectacular and believable.

If you got any better it would be spooky, almost supernatural. Seriously, you're really good already. We can all improve of course but you're god.

haha thank you :3 it originally started right side up, but by the end I liked it upside down better :3

I think it was a good call. Looks more on purpose, IMO.

sadafkart In reply to ??? [2011-07-21 18:05:26 +0000 UTC]

Her soft eyes are definitely like forget-me-nots. There's a very soft haze of focus on them, and her hair color nicely contrasts the skin tone. Good job!

I particularly like the eyes' shape and coloration, but my favorite part is undoubtedly the hair. I like its texture and its color - nice and silky. ^^
