This was the other final painting for my Intro to Figure Painting class, it was painted looking at a picture I found on tumblr actually, I love loved the mood of it and the woman's hair. I suck at hair, so that was my focus for this one. And I'm pretty happy with it! Her skin turned out being a bit bland, though I like the shadows on her face. Doing the pattern on the corset was another challenge but I tried to keep it simple, just like with the lace and other little details. I love doing portraits but never had the nerve to do one like this before, so I enjoyed pushing myself. This was painted with a character of mine in mind actually, Elyria from As Simple as Black and White, she was in the night club concept art as well

It was a painting I did off a picture I found. Oh okay, thanks a million
Lovely Image. You've been featured here jamie-nicole.deviantart.com/
Can I request a print?
I'm not sure. This is the highest resolution of the picture I still have, as my computer crashed. I should be getting the original oil canvas back in a month or so if my Ex hasn't sold it.
Wow, that's beyond amazing! Great!
Thank you!
You've got some really nice confident brushwork on this one, I like it!
Thanks! I spent ages on the grid drawing on this painting, trying to get the base as strong as I could and as dead on to the reference as possible. So when I finally started having fun with it I went a little bold in brush strokes. I just wish now that her skin wasn't quite so flat to my eyes. I might update the painting if the canvas is still around, I left it behind when I moved out from my Ex's place.
The dress and value shifts in the skin and the face, I have to give you props on, nice work indeed.
Grid on canvas, drawing on it with pencil and pastels, hours and hours of careful painting pays off I guess lol.
almost photographic
Thanks, though I can see the flaws.
Holy crap. O_O
Is that a good thing? Lol
*nods* O_O
Oh yay
This is really pretty.
Thank you Lots and lots of time went into it.
