Flower Girl

Nonstop work as usual. As you guys know (or not), I've been doing something I call survival sketches which is keeping the mind and hand active in creating innovating artwork that may develop further into future concept designs and creations. Or the shorter term:

I drew to stay awake.

I figured I hadn't painted a portrait in a long while, nor am I especially great with colors so I figured I would practice this. What started as a small study turned into what you see now. Before I go on, I have to say this is by far the most girly painting I've ever done. Definitely lots of fun, and hope to do more of these soon. Special thanks goes to my talented friend Mei Huang for feedback on young faces. As you guys can see in the progress image, the girl originally started looking in her mid-40s. I may try and do an older person later. Overall, great practice! Apologies that the progress chart is a little unorganized in terms of time difference between each image.
