My newest piece

The days of my college career are slowly dwindling down...4 more days of class next week. Then I have my senior exit review and I have to set up for my senior wall. Graduation...then the opening night of the show...Then going to Chicago to get my Visa. It's going to be pretty busy these next few weeks! But, I can't wait to be done with school and move on with my life and career!

This is my most recent piece. (And also part of my new blog header!) I took reference photos of my friend, Molly again. I really just took my time on this one and wasn't worrying about any deadlines which made this piece a lot of fun to work on. I wanted to keep it a simple portrait. Overall, I'm really happy how it turned out. I think because I didn't rush or worry myself too much about this one - it turned out to be one of my best pieces this year. I hope you all enjoy it!


This is the photo that I took of my friend to use for this piece, btw!

  3. you've got some RAD stuff girl! like the "side note" ("Note: I do not do free illustrations! This is my profession and I need to pay the bills") I don't think some peeps realize how long it takes to do an illustration, I mean... you're putting all of "you" in it! keep it up, gorgeous stuff :) <3 -NB
