Description
Tink, the mischievous spriteI tried a new technique this time. I love the realistic result. I used Nathie's skin brushes and they made all the difference. I'll be doing a step by step tutorial of this image soon.
This is not a photo manipulation or 3D render. There was no over-painting or tracing. She was painted by hand.

Wow, This one is absolutely a success!!. Kudos! I agree that Nathie's brushes are awesome, so is his work. Now, if I can only learn to use them correctly. I look forward to the tutorial.

Yeah it may take a couple of weeks. I am throwing a bridal shower and helping to plan a wedding for next week so it's going to have to be after everything's done! =0
Actually his Brushes are really cool. I didn't realize how many he had. I'll have to try some fur brushes out some time.

XD Me too! I have discovered that uneven specs of highlight create a much more realistic result than a quick soft round brush.

I agree! Uneven highlights are much more realistic. And that's like the best next I have ever drawn. Pore brushes are like magic.

I know the feeling. It's the same feeling I get whenever I look at anything by Linda, Melanie Delon, Marta Dahling, Anna Dittman, and about 5 more great fantasy portrait artists. I feel like I've discovered some great secret about how they all must do it so I am excited to do my tutorial.
