Smiling Red


My wife wanted a new thumbnail picture for her Facebook page.  (Our use of Facebook tends to be infrequent and sporadic.)  I took up the challenge as a chance to learn some digital coloring techniques and practice full figure drawing -- as opposed to the busts I normally doodle.  I really learned a lot especially how two colors change their apparent hue when placed together.  I can see all the flaws and I still have a long way to go before I will be happy with anything I draw, but I really like the result of this exercise.  (Note that my feelings are heavily biased because of the subject of the portrait.)
