Description This has taken me about two weeks? I dont know how many hours Ive put into it. Its the first airbrushing that Ive done in colour. I spent most of my time doing the hair, I find myself using the 1 pixel brush, but I think it was worth it.
I changed the hair colour from the blonde to more of a strawberry blonde, which was John's idea. And instead of it being short like the original, I made it long. It was meant to be curly but that didn't work.

I have to thank for the beautiful stock.

Do you mind if I edit this a touch to make it fit my character, then use it on my small rp site?
It's okay if I can't, I won't be mad. I always ask before using anything ^^
Anyways, even if I can't, I do congradulate you-- this is an amazingly realistic piece of art!

Of course I'll link you when I'm done! It takes a long time to tint the hair color, mind you XD I want to get every strand but no skin XD Because Kaio(my character) has slightly darker hair. I'm a little OCD about it, but the smooth cheekbones is hard to find in digital portraits, so it isn't like there's a ton of other pictures to edit.

I know how long this could take, painting hair.
But you are right, in this painting it was worth it.
And you did a very nice work on her face.

Thankyou, your work is much better than mine though. I especially love the 'ballet' one. They are all very beautiful.
