A portrait birthday gift for my brother

Some artists draw using the grid method. Thus they can perfectly copy a certain picture. 

For me I like to do it in freehand but still use the guidelines for anatomy. 

See the strong anime cartoony influence. It never goes away.

After that I then put in a collage app to compare the difference. 🤭 

Looks kinda realistic now.

I had fun shading the skin. But I need a reallllllyy fine brush to do the details right.

 Running low now with white acrylic paint.

A lil lighting tweak at an editting app did the job.

I just drew my future daughter!

If you go back to my post in 2014 you will see I posted this digital portrait of Lauren Hanna Lunde a half korean half canadian ulzzang kid model from Korea. How I adored and wished I had a daughter as beautiful as her.

Well who ever heard my wish didnt include a HUSBAND?!

Neh, I am very grateful for my bundle of joy despite all the tears and fears I experienced during the pregnancy.

Now this is one of my illustrated books made back in 2014 while working for ASPI. And still the resemblance is uncanny.
I have been drawing my future daughter all that time.


Well you know what this means? Time to draw my future husband, house, car, and etc


Law of attraction huh. Manifestations and divine universe.
