Description
This is the first of three recent portraits I've painted. These are part of a study I did of a quite popular artist here on Deviantart who goes by Sakimichan. I wanted to take an approach to doing semi-realistic portraits, strong colors and increase my speed when painting all things she excels at. Overall this was a success as I produced this painting in considerably less time than I normally spend and learned a number of techniques and ideas of lighting usage while working on this and the next two portraits. I did reference several of Sakimichan's paintings while working on these, I did not copy them however but they do hold similar pose, characteristics, etc. to some of her paintings. I hope she takes this as flattering and it is all an attempt to learn on my part.

This is an original character of mine from a story I have yet to sit down and write and is of the main character of a story I call The Little Hero.
