Description

"Mary."

A slightly early birthday drawrin' for :iconamalthee:
Hope you like it!

I'm quite proud of the likeness this time. Still not quite perfect, but significantly closer to its source than my Hymne Noire piece. I tried a new method, and it worked pretty well. Starting in black and white before moving on to color is where it's at. The experts don't lie. Black and white, wave of the future? Who knew? Blurred a bit after the fact for a softer look, done completely in photoshop over the course of about six hours scattered across a week. Six hours versus my usual multiple days (sometimes weeks. Ugh.) for paintery type stuff? I can dig it.
