From the Eclectic Easel

Finished this today =). 

I'm calling her "Lucy." But I FINALLY figured how to paint skin in sketchbook pro 7. It took me a long time to figure it out. =)

No, I haven't forgotten about my digital portraits. Just that I've been "practicing" them. But here's Carrie Underwood's digital portrait painting I'd just finished.

Mapping out the face..  working on the left eye..  Still shading. Shading both eyes..  eyes close up.  shading the nose.  shading the mouth..  and the face, neck and shoulders.  done =). 

Here I mapped out the face..  Began shading the left eye..  both eyes are done started shading the nose and forehead began shading the mouth continued shading..  more drawing and more drawing :).  continued in part two.. 

I start mapping out the face and where the features placement.  Here I start drawing the eyes.  After that I shade the forehead.  I continue to shading the rest of the forehead.  I continue drawing the nose here I think.  Continuing to draw..  Starting the hair here.  Continuing to draw the hair..  More drawing It's done!! :).
