Few monthes ago my photography teacher had a photoshoot with model Svetlana in his studio.
I made a quick pencil sketches from this beautiful girl (from my teacher`s permission, of course).
One of this sketches seems a good for me, so I decided to paint my new work based on it.
Model - Svetlana.
Used Painter IX a little Photoshop here.
Steps of work you can see here :
