Creative Portraits: Kirsten

This is my wife's niece, Kirsten, who just got her driver's permit authorizing her to drive as long as she is accompanied by a licensed driver. Her dad is nervous!

Anyway, let's see how you can apply your artistic skills to this one.

Enjoy...

Some advice for the new driver: "Keep The Idiots in Front of You."

I'm sure your brother and sister in law have to hold the boys back with a big stick.

Hope you like this Sharp Control illustration Danny.

I've been using a lot of bright colours lately, so I tried for a more muted look on this one.

PSP X
Started off with VP5 airbrush. Then various plugins to get the basic picture.

Then decided to give her a more windblown hairdo.

Just in case she decides to drive a convertable.

Regards to all,
Mitch.

I could only come up with a pencil drawing, looks like a lovely lass not distracted by friends nor chatter, should be ok, hard to see one get into a car unarmed these days (so to speak), looks like a solid head on one's shoulders, I'd be happy
