So Close.

^{Photoshop; ~4-5h}

And another Digital Painting

I am pretty happy with the outcome of this one

Doing this one was a lot of fun, even if my hand hurts a bit now My steps are roughly: line art sketch / color blocking / blending / facial lines / hair / effects

When it comes to effects… I added some noise, as well as adjustments via levels and color balance. They can really help enhance the colors and make the image more vivid.

To mention: no liquify this time!

And for resources… make a guess Hint: there is a mirror on my desk.
[I also used this fantastic brush set by `DanLuVisiArt [link] ]

I hope you like it
