Description
Why do I paint the best when I feel the worst? Anyway, instead of spewing emo all over this description, I'll just give you the stats.Referenced from ~PersephoneStock here [link]
Thanks for the great stock!!!
Six hours of work in PSCS4 on an Intuos.

Same here. My best work always arrives when I'm feeling my worst. I think it's because our emotions are so raw that we're able to transport them to canvas, and the result is real and not forced.

, I guess. All I know is that when I feel bad, art makes it better.

Thank you! Sometimes I like to do realistic studies, but sometimes emotion is more important.
You have a great gallery, by the way.

It's a fact that some artist do better art depending on their moods. But sorry to hear you're sad.

Oh wow, those eyes are so striking. The left hand still looks a bit sketchy, but the quality of the face makes up for it a million times over.

Thanks! I overindulged a bit on the eyes... I could spend some time on the hands, but I decided that it wasn't really worth the time, since the focus is really on the face. You can see that I left the hair pretty sketchy as well.

That's true. The hair looks really nice, by the way. It's gorgeous c:

I know! Been thinking about drawing it too for a while, but I have just too much ideas, reference photo's and WIP's lying around that need to be done first, haha!
You're very welcome!

I wouldn't call it 'activity', per se. But I know comments like this one are really helpful, so it felt like my duty.

So far its looking good, anything in particular? Like is this girl from a movie, or just your own thing?

Hmm, I thought I already replied to this one...
I felt like painting a sad person, but I wanted it to actually look good, so I decided to use a reference, which is a stock photo from here on dA. The shading and lines are heavily referenced.
