A girl wearing a flower crown

Disclaimer: This illustration was inspired by Barbara Palvin's photo shoot.

The original picture looks like this:

GOSH. Isn't she perfect? 

She's got the perfect facial structure that makes it easier for a novice artist like me to draw.

As soon as I saw this picture I fell in love with the "aura" it gave out: seductive look, chic outfit, and the flower crown. If I had a crown like this, I would spend all day taking selfies.

This is the sketch. I know, I know. It doesn't look like Barbara at all.

(That's why I said "inspired." I just can't make it look exactly like her.)

I usually finish a drawing in a day but yesterday after I sketched this, I got extremely sick (involving vomiting and fainting) so I had to finish it the next day.

Shading is magical. It just brings the facial structure out.

In the illustration I did right before this one (of Barbara), shadows were darker and the colours were more vivid but I decided to keep this subtle.

I felt great about this one.

I heard from somewhere that your drawing and hand writing reflex your appearance... Does that make me beautiful? :P

So this is the finished product!!!

I'm very satisfied with how it turned out. This is my third illustration on this sketchbook and I can FEEL that I'm improving every day. I hope I could get over the artist's block when I do confront one.

As a bonus...

This was my previous illustration. Sadly, I hadn't taken any pictures during the process.
