Beautiful! I'd add a bit more highlights to the face, I think she's too much in shadow.

Likeness is tough, I never managed to get a good one. But I think you did! Looks really like you.
And your choice of colors, and the style are so beautiful. Looking forward to see more new work from you!


... did you see the last part of Harry Potter 7? So sad, isn't it... :[

thanks Kristina I've been mentally struggling as far as what direction to take... I am tempted by too many things! But I must be patient with myself and I think style comes naturally as well (doing lots of printmaking too)... Are you done with Angel or is there another year to go?

I saw HP7 yesterday, it's sad that it's over yeah... I wasn't that emotionally attached to the films so it was OK though (contrary to say, Lord of the rings when I was a teenager... I cried for about 15 minutes at the end of the return of the king lol, ridiculous). Made me want to reread the books though, I've only read them once so it should be fun

I'm finished with the 3 year program at Angel's, initially thought I might do another term but decided against it. I'm going to continue studying (illustration, in Hamburg). Are you still a student? What about staying with Odd Nerdrum (maybe even in Paris!) ?

Hehe, I'm going to miss the HP series too, but as long as the books are awesome enough to read them over and over again, I think we'll be fine

v. cool. Has it been done traditionally or digitally? I'd guess traditionally by the look of it. Love the dark tone especially in contrast to the bright petals

you're right, it's traditional
