Description

NO CRITIQUES PLEASE. This is a very personal character for me. Just imagine she's real and that she's my daughter.
If you want to critique my work, go ahead and pick anything else from my gallery. I'll appreciate it.

Thank you.

"How I love dandelions! But dandelions don't blow nice when it rains." - that's what she says.

This piece is dedicated to another one of my awesome dA friends - ~Engexgal255 - it's her birthday today!
Check her out, she's a great person to go crazy with, and an awesome painter!
Happy birthday, Sandy!

Oh my, handmade bokeh is handmade.
Also, I'm surprised with how realistic the lighting came out.

Yay! Very glad you like it!
Yeah, I'm kinda stupidly proud of the lighting in this to this day.
Oh wow, that was so long ago!

Thank you!

You're absolutely welcome!

You should be proud of the way you did the lighting!  It looks really amazing!

Hey there I absolutely Love your style here!! Any advice on how you painted her hair I'm still trying to learn and this looks fantastic!! <3

Hey, thanks! Glad you like it.


The process is fairly simple - here you go .

Also, I used Paint Tool SAI's linework tools for the hair (not the shading, though).


If something is unclear, go ahead and ask!

Oh wow Thank you I'll have to have a try!!  Don't suppose you have any tips for painting short hair? I'm attempting a portrait of my brother and I'm struggling with his hair -_-

tchaikovsky2 In reply to Winter-Staum [2013-10-22 13:47:06 +0000 UTC]

Sorry it took me so long to reply again!


To be honest, I would use the exact same technique for short hair. But that probably depends on the hair style. Off the top of my head, though, I think it could fit in with anything, really. Well... maybe except for fur.


And you're welcome!

tchaikovsky2 In reply to Faerie-s [2012-02-14 22:17:58 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, not too long. I actually drew like... five of them? And just pasted around the rest, rotating them slightly, mirroring some.
FUN!

This isn't CG'ed? That in itself amazes me.

tchaikovsky2 In reply to TheStripelessTiger [2011-01-24 14:58:39 +0000 UTC]

What do you mean? It's a digital painting, which does make it a CG.
In any case, I'm glad you liked it.
