Those big brown eyes

Original here:


I adore this photo of Rhiannon, and have wanted to try my hand at painting realism digitally.
I want to get better at different things art wise, not just cartoon animals all the time XD

I tried to follow the photo as close as possible, starting with a sketch of it traced from the original photo, and built up from there.
It was really interesting to see how the colours in the picture worked together, and I feel like it was a learning experience for me XD
I wish I could draw lips better though e__e ohwell


Anyway, I hope yal like it
Especially the girl who this is for, I expect lots of praise for this UuU hahaa
