Artist's Comments

collaboration with *srgio

Both of us love to draw Adriana Lima, so we picked out a reference photo and he drew it in pencil. He took a picture of his drawing, and then sent the photo of his work to me to color digitally.

This turned out really differently from the way that I'd planned on doing it. I was going to make it more stylized, with a purplish color scheme. I opened up his drawing in Opencanvas, throwing around realistic colors just to experiment with the brush options. Before I knew it, the coloring was half-done. I ended up finishing the entire piece before he'd even sent me the final version of the drawing. I've been trying to avoid too-literal copies of photos, so maybe I'll try coloring this again with the style I had in mind for it.

I hope he uploads the drawing to his gallery, because it really is beautiful. :heart:

holy shit.


This is amazing, I haven't seen something like this here in a while. This really stood out from the rest of the other thumbnails. I love her face expression. Everything in this is perfect, the colors are beautiful. I wont give you all the credit, also srgio, you did an amazing job, too. Again, this is an amazing piece of art. If this doesn't make it to the daily favorites, then I don't know what will. Very well done.

This is fantastic. Looks like an oil sketch (always my favourite part of art class at college). Great coloring too. Paintings from photos often come out looking flat, but you've nailed this one... awesome! :+fav:

oh...my...

your work is always top notch. the treatment on the face (especially the lips) makes this better than the reference. excellent work, indeed.
