Description
This particular illustration has been sitting on my hard drive unfinished for the past year or so. Was rather unhappy about how it was going at the time and stopped. Finally got around to repainting and finishing it - not entirely satisfied with the end result, but there is still something appealing (at least to me!) about it. Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.Related content

That coloring job is fantastic. Especially her hair which looks really hard to do.

Knew I wasnt the only one. Have a bunch of stuff like that - ran out of time, it wasn't working etc and now they sit there begging to be finished.
Never enough time in a day for my likings!

Thanks! Have plans for a tutorial someday soon - have had quite a few requests for one. Got it all planned out, but its a matter of finding the right time.

Awesome pic!
Maybe the divot should be in front of her? Or there should be a gouge in the ground behind her back foot?
Painted with a mouse?!? You're my hero!!!!

The back arm being bent makes it look a little like the top of the swing rather than the follow through, but the rest of the pose is really strong. I love the look of surprise on her face

This is a hole in one as far as I'm concerned.
Very adorable take on an incredibly cute concept.
Her legs are amazingly well done (well, all of her is amazingly well done, but something about her legs really caught my eye).

Lol! Thanks. Had fun painting the legs, particularly the knees.

Knees can be tough for me. But I am learning, largely because of cool folks like yourself.

U must have some awesome traditional acrylics or gouache paintings you're holding out on us from posting - cuz, I'd love to see the smoothness of the Loopyness traditionally !!
Did ya use an airbrush back then?, ... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't have much of my traditional painted stuff anymore - lost in moves, discarded over time etc. I'm sure they weren't that interesting anyway - a couple of Norman Rockwell copies (great way to learn!), some landscapes, but mostly technical excercises like paintings of jars, tins etc (used to really enjoy that). Did play around with the airbrush a bit at college, but never got around to getting a compressor for home so didnt go far with it.
Someday I'm going to crack open a paint box again for the fun of it. It will be an interesting excercise - I had applied what I had learnt traditionally to the digital medium, and I'm sure I will take stuff that I've learnt on the computer back to traditional paints!

Yeah, those compressors were too noisy for me - so i got a c02 tank twenty years ago (works like a charm and quiet as can be) I even had to use it last year for a quick background AND it still had AIR in it AFTER over 10 years LATER (from my last time filling it !) simply amazing i would say
That's funny though ((about losing art in moves/discarding pieces)) because I moved a year ago AND when packing the end of the truck I was running out of room, and decided to actually throw away into a huge dumpster many original pieces of art. Gouache paintings that i never thought I would part with 
goes 2 show, how as time goes by - what we find dear changes.

I know what you mean. Moved house some 8 months back and because the new studio is about half the size of the last one, threw out a whole heap of stuff, including, ironically, my airbrush!

My place is smaller too,... the way I fixed that problem was to USE THE ENTIRE PLACE as a studio, so now I have three studios/rooms
the Library (we both Love so much)
the Painting studio (would've been the Livingroom)
and the filing/storage/supply room
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds like a great solution! Out of necessity I became a lot more efficient with my use of space and moved the studio non-essentials, like DVDs into other rooms! Do like to keep my work space seperate from my living space though - makes it easier to unwind when I'm not working!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha - the only-est room I have that's not art related is the bedroom
OK, i don't want ya to think I'm more weird than i already am - talking and talking,... but mate, we do have so much in common 2 talk about !!

hehehe... i really dislike golf but this sexy pic just might make me rethink my feelings on it....

I'm with you. With apologies to all the golf fans out there, watching it on tv is even less fun than doing your tax or taking out the rubbish!

Not satisfied with this piece?!... I have a feeling you will never be fully satisfied with anything because this is AMAZING! Great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I suppose if I was fully satisified, I wouldnt strive to improve!

Nah, you're right, it sucks.
NOT!!!
Amazing work, as usual. Aside from the mouth-watering colors, I love the way your line incorporates both cartoon and classic pin-up sensibilities. Simply masterful!
btw, I mentioned this before - if you're sticking to a mouse, I think you should seriousely consider switching to a Logitech Trackman. It gives you incredible freedom (for a mouse), and it's way, way healthier for your wrist; if you use the mouse a lot, carpal tunnel syndrom can't be far off, and the Trackman is the only effective solution I've seen (and I've been through a few).
