A Beautiful Woman

[Alexandra]

I painted a portrait of our Mannafig a while back from her avatar. I made some changes here and there as she has long hair now.
This is an example of merging a drawing or a photo with a desired background, duplicating layers and transforming the objects and moving them around.
I used airbrush, pen, and watercolor.

Here's to you beautiful Amanda!:)

You pushed ahead the frontier of Andy Wahrol pop art portraits into a more dreamy, flashbacking style, dearest Sandra! :eek::cool::):):)
It was also a great idea to have Amanda starring instead of Marylin Monroe! :rolleyes:;):p:)

Very nice demo on different ways to create a painting. I really like this one. Beautiful. :)

[RobertSWade]

More than the beauty of an image of a lovely person is the beautiful spirit by which it was created. I've seen it happen here so often and it never fails to warm my heart.

[Alexandra]
