[edit] 05/12/2013: I reworked the pic a bit now I'm more confident than in 08 when it's about painting shadows: so the pic does have more depth than before
------------------------------------------------------------------

Supposed to be Zatanna, but with such a title I avoid problems of ©

Old stuff form one year ago, I was watching Alex Ross work; and the way He paints his stuff; so I tried to do the same (beginning with a ful l greyscaled pic, then applying colors over it)

MMM that remembered me the time I was in art school and worked on pastel, that was the same dammit and boring proceed.

The pic could have been better in other way (if I worked it MY way) but as it was a training method, heh not TOO bad in the end.
Also it has been a while I didn't painted something in traditionnal

Pastels can produce great results, but be very time consuming. I did the majority of my concentration for my AP Art portfolio in pastels.

I always respect people who use acrylics and/or paints, mainly because I have great difficulty with them. So I admire artists, like the great Alex Ross (I love "Kingdom Come" and "Justice"), who can produce such beautiful work.

Fantastic job with this Zatanna piece. Extra points since you didn't use your "normal method" for coloring. Did you use some pastels for the eyeshadow or skin tones? Just curious.

Keep up the great work

Pastel is too much easy. really, it's not hard to have hyperrealistic stuff with that. It just needs to work on a big size
but i'm not that found of those one; it's kind boring.I don't feel "expresion" coming with pastel.

As I said, I wanted to use A.R method, so , no I just use inkwash and acrylics.
I just used pure black inks for the eyelashes.
Maybe I used some white pencil on that one,to had more light; I don't really remember :/

en tout cas je trouve ca très reussi. C'est plus classique que d'habitude, mais ça peut pas faire de mal de temps en temps!

Wow, you came near Ross' style with this one. I like it!

I do have to observe, tho, that if you made the necklace an ankh and added a little swirl under the eye, she'd make a good Death of the Endless...
