This challenge gave me the nudge I needed. Painter Classic New document, paper color, a golden brown. I began to sketch using my Wacom tablet, which I have not done before. I usually sketch and scan. I lightly sketched using the 2B pencil in the brushes palette. sketched in the hair, face, facial features, clothes. I then began to paint. I used soft chalk, pen, airbrush, just add water brush. I adjusted equalize several times during the process. Believe me it looked like a mess for a while, I didn't have much hopes for it. I followed this tutorial as a guide only. minstead.swinternet.co.uk./pastut1.html As you see mine looks nothing like this. When everything was painted I added texture, basic paper. Well, I had fun, I don't know where this little girl came from, my imagination I guess. However, I feel rather close to her now that she's done. Thanks for this site, it's wonderful

LQQKER, yep, she was somewhere "upstairs" I finally let her out. I was rather surprised that I came up with something presentable. I see my weak points in it, but that's how we learn, right? Your encourgement is most appreciated :smile:

Wonderful, and so lovely! I was sure you could do this, just by looking at your other works -- though I realize starting from scratch is MUCH different. Now you know you can do this also -- so keep it up! Wanda, you go, girl!

CJ, thank you. You knew I could do it, huh? You have a lot more confidence in me than I do, I appreciate that. I have an order in to do a blonde haired, blue eyed little boy, EEK!!!

Lorraine, Tony, bubba, I appreciate your kind comments. I feel undeserved of such praise.
