Experiment the First - Mia!

It's a slight caricature, trying to make a believable blend of cartoon-ness and realism.

Slooooooowly getting back into painting, and doing it digitally is awesome in some ways and extremely challenging in others. In this one I should have done it higher-contrast and with some more shading, but for a first go it wasn't too shabby. Things to remember for next time.

This took forever. I want to eventually offer this style of portrait, but if I did now I'd be charging an arm and a leg!

Will be experimenting more. Stay tuned! Laur, I have a high-res copy for you.

Oh that is really fun Allie!

 

[Laurelin]

Haha that is so awesome! You definitely captured her cheekiness!

Haha that is so awesome! You definitely captured her cheekiness!

I wanted her to looks a bit more mischievous, but I think I nailed a cheekiness. :rofl1:

Glad you like! You're working hard for Ada with your art, figured a surprise would be nice. And Mia is PERFECT for a caricature experiment. haha

 

[Laurelin]

You definitely did! I'm so stoked about it! It's just wonderful and she's my special little girl. Id' type more but she's sitting here attacking my hands wanting to play. :lol-sign:

I love the way the fur came out, especially around her face. Gorgeous coloring!

OMG! I love that! SO CUTE!

 

[AllieMackie]

Thanks so much, girls. <3

There are things I'm not the most pleased with, but digital painting as a medium is ridiculously new to me, and I made some discoveries and learned new techniques doing this, which is really the name of the game.

Heheh . . . that's almost cheating to start with Mia . . . she's already a little 'toon dog

 

[Fran101]

Lovely!!!

*squee* So cute. I should have do one of Watson

 

[smkie]

I think you nailed it too. Love that touch of yellow in the clouds too...it brings the eye around and makes the fur pop even more. Wonderful work.

 

[Lizmo]

I love this! Gorgeous gorgeous!

Thanks guys!

Now that my office is almost re-sorted, I hope to work on more of these.
