Description
collaboration with *srgioBoth of us love to draw Adriana Lima, so we picked out a reference photo and he drew it in pencil. He took a picture of his drawing, and then sent the photo of his work to me to color digitally.
This turned out really differently from the way that I'd planned on doing it. I was going to make it more stylized, with a purplish color scheme. I opened up his drawing in Opencanvas, throwing around realistic colors just to experiment with the brush options. Before I knew it, the coloring was half-done. I ended up finishing the entire piece before he'd even sent me the final version of the drawing. I've been trying to avoid too-literal copies of photos, so maybe I'll try coloring this again with the style I had in mind for it.
I hope he uploads the drawing to his gallery, because it really is beautiful.

Wow--that is a really amazing job. The preview for it makes it almost look like a photograph. I know what you mean by wanting to stylize more when using a photo reference, but it doesn't stop me at all from marvelling at this. The hair and face... the whole body really. I'm going to gawk at this for awhile longer...

I love Adriana Lima..it's a little weird because I just emailed someone in hopes of convincing him to draw her and then voila!-sounds of the twilight zone start playing-
Anyway, this combined effort is so close to the real thing. You both did brilliantly!

This one is one of your best pieces - definitely! It looks painted, but in a certain way it has this really charming drawing-style-look. Especially her dress is so nicely done that I can't find the right superlatives for it. The mirror reflection and the proportional correctness give it a soft touch of vivid realism. Especially her lips and the eyes have photo-quality. You really understand to improve step by step in shading and colour use - everything looks harmonical and smoothly done. Just a piece that's ready for a fav!
