Hey all,

Haven't posted here much , but I thought I would post a portrait I did of Nicole Trager's character from Kyle xy. I wanted to get better at painting in 2d in general and doing a character from one of my favorite tv shows gave me some inspiration to finish something.
I used a reference pic and hand drew the shape of the face and and features trying to get it as close as my reference image as possible. I then added a couple of layers to the file and then blocked out the skin and hair. I had the layer I was working on semi transparent so I could see my underlying sketch so I could accurately block out the skin and hair.
I then added the depth to the skin and proper color to the image. Once I was happy with the rough image I enlarged my image, I had up until this point only been working on a small image size.(300 x 600 pxls) . With the image much bigger now I finished off the image with the finer details .

Hope you like it.
