Esmeralda

 

I really love the Disney Movie Hunchback of Notre Dame. I was watching it the other day and thought it would be fun to do a little  drawing of Esmeralda! 

*The Character of Esmeralda belongs to Disney, just to clarify. Just wanted to make fun fan art piece, but thought I should add this to the description!

Tea Time WIP

The face has some dimension, but I still have a lot of work to go!

Painting Update, All in a days work

 

Did all of this painting in one day! Very productive. I just need to paint the hair, body and pearls. I will also glaze some color in the cheeks and such.

Painting Teaser

Here are some photos from a shoot that I took for reference photos. These that I am posting will not be paintings. :)  

Just a few more things to paint

 

Painted the sweater and the phone, added dimension to the cup. I just need to paint the logo on the cup, the hair and soften the shoulder. There's a dark line on it right now that's driving me nuts!

Getting Closer

 

Getting closer. Added color to the skin, painted the shirt and started the cup.

Painting Update!

 

Adding color and shaping. I didn't do an under painting this time.  

Thought I'd try this technique out instead

Painting update, two for one. Under Painting and Backgound

Getting Closer

 

Getting closer! Still need to paint the hair, tea cup, necklace, and finish the background

Painting Update

 

 

Starting to add color and shaping to the skin. The lips need a lot of work, but we're getting there 

Painting Update...Blue or Green?

 

I really love the blue right now, but I was originally going for a minty bluish color. What to you guys think? Stick with the blue or glaze to make it greener? I would love to hear what you think!

Under Painting Finished

 

The under painting is finished. Color coming soon!

Adding Dimension

 

Working on giving the face dimension and giving the 

skin texture. The color in his face right now are dull, 

but nothing a little glazing can't fix!

Cool Little bit of Info

Learned something cool today! If you have an oil painting that you want to dry quick bake it! I did it on 150 for 2 hours and it was dry and it didn't yellow!
