Portia
I don’t know why the name Portia sticks out in my mind for this image. Perhaps it’s because of the way it sounds exotic, tying in with how exotic this image looks.
Or maybe I wanted a word play with ‘Portrait’ :).
Medium: Photoshop
Method: Wacom Tablet.
Portia belongs to the following groups:
1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture and The Art of 3D Available for sale asGreeting Cards

Woah, the hair must have taken you forever.. I can never be that patient with painting hair. I love how you put purple eyes with the red hair, makes both stand out really well.

Thanks Shanina, Roseann, Jennifer, Leana, Diva, Cathy and Ashlee!!!
The unreal looking eyes were the result of a “happy accident” with a custom style I made in Photoshop =)).
And with Painting hair, once you get into a habit that you like, you’ll find it takes less time than what you thought ^ . ^
Dodge, burn and custom built brushes are your friends.
