Artist's Comments

I'm glad I sat back down and finished this tonight. I saw Kate on The Tonight Show a few weeks ago and was instantly motivated to do a portrait of her. She's so gorgeous!! The only thing that I didn't like doing on this portrait was the hair. It took a very very long time. I think the face turned out pretty realistic but I think the hair takes away from the realism of it. I will keep learning and trying new techniques with hair to make it look more realistic. Thanks to everyone who commented on the WIP and my recent journal...you guys motivated me to sit back down and work on it. I appreciate all the comments.

I thought this was a photo by the thumbnail too. :)

This is really amazing. It is so realistic. I dont think the hair takes anything away from the overall look. I am just stunned. The teeth, the dimples, the eyes, it is so perfect. I can tell you put a ton of work into this. :deviation:

Great work! I think the hair looks really excellent, doesn't take away from it at all!

Thank you very much. I have to be harsh on myself with the hair, it's not as realistic as I would like it to be. But it will be someday :D. Thanks alot for the comment, I'm glad you like it. :hug:
