    Oh la la, qu’est-ce que tu l’as bien réussie cette petite !
    Ces yeux magnifiques avec de supers éclats et cet extraordinaire regard ….et la bouche extrêmement bien réalisée aussi.
    Bravo pour le choix de tes couleurs de peau aussi
    La minutie des détails du vêtement et du turban…wow wow !

  • Salut Frog! Merci pour ton gentil mot, comme d’habitude. Fiona m’a pas mal guidée pour cette petite (elle me dit toujours de mettre plus de bleu dans les tons de la peau) et puis aussi, comme je commençais à me gourer pour le fond, elle m’a aidée à choisir le couleurs qui vont bien.
    Bises

    Beautiful work! Especially those gorgeous eyes, just stunning!

  • Thanks for your nice comment Allison. Her eyes actually drew me to this picture, they give you an intense stare but at the same time, they are full of tenderness. Thank you so much again!
