Painting Update
The face is finally finished...or at least I need to stop messing with it. It's keeping me from finishing the rest of the painting.
Also, I wanted to let everyone know the book cover is in it's final stages and once it is out I'll share it!

Some of the Process
Transferring the sketch to the canvas
Many people think that I dislike technology, and that's just not true. I hate the abuse of technology. I used an opaque projector to transfer my little sketch to the large canvas. If I like the sketch and comp why not utilize it?

refining the sketch
after getting the layout in place it's time for the pencil! I go back into the sketch and make the drawing more detailed and clear

here is a detail of the dress. I spent a while on the detailing so I thought I'd show a close up
beginning stages of under painting.
I always do the under painting in acrylic for 2 reasons, 1. It drys faster
2. It's cheaper than oil, I have to save money somewhere

Just an Update
Sorry not much process on this one I got carried away and forgot to take pics. But I thought I'd show you all what it looks like so far so you don't think I'm dead. I just had surgery so that's why the art updates haven't been as frequent :(
