Heather and Freelance

Hey everybody!

   So yesterday morning I decided to paint my wonderful / beautiful girlfriend Heather as a quick study! :) She was nice enough to pose for me... and this is what I ended up with! She has a ton of hair and I really wanted to play that up! I think I succeeded fairly well!

   Below you will see that I started off with a quick black and white sketch, once I was happy with the composition I began to add color and detail. I really enjoyed painting her... maybe she will continue to let me paint her if I behave? :) haha.

   Quick random thought: Maintaining a steady flow of freelance jobs is both time consuming and tough! I knew it would be hard... thats why I must keep painting everyday! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

p.s. I think I'm going to paint a witch now... its cold outside and you can really get a sense of fall, my favorite season! Halloween time! :)
