Water Lily

I decided to paint a portrait inspired by one of my first few realistic digital art attempts.
I really struggled along the way, gave up in the middle of it and then brought myself to finish it. I think it was worth it.
What I take from this is that even for portraits a strong readable thumbnail and a flattering color scheme make all the difference. Also, waterproof eyeliner.
