girl

This took an age. I haven't done much digital art and only a couple of portraits (Japan girl was my first serious effort). I think the hardest thing was the hair. Had one go and it was useless. Took a look at a couple of tutorials on DA
[link] especially this one, then had another go.

Having gone through this it just makes me more in awe of some of the pieces on DA – mind blowing talent.

The original photo I took it from is here:
