Description
This is honestly the sort of human face I feel most comfortable painting, possibly because the first artist I really really really wanted to be when I grew up was Susan Seddon Boulet, much to the eventual detriment of my ability to draw noses.Anyway! 8 x 10, mixed media, lots of clear gesso and watercolor pencil and whatnot over a print of the original sketch on hotpress watercolor sealed to board. (Christ, my process is getting complicated...) Original for sale or will go to cons, you guys know the drill by now, prints available at Red Wombat Studio: [link]

There's something very serene and lovely about this creature. I don't know if its the design or the way you rendered it, but I adore the image.

She's so cute and like "oh, were you talking to me..." knowing full well they were but she wasn't listening because they weren't worth her time. That's how I read her expression anyway lol

As she was about to go, she turns around again and sees a plate which she did not notice before "Oh, cupcakes!"

I love her expression... to me, it is like someone just entered the room and spoke her name, and while she knows them well enough, she does not know what they are about to say.
I think it's the eyebrows. If a picture is worth 1000 words, eyebrows in a portrait own 800 of them.
