Title: William Bouguereau's La couturière study
Name: Pauli Pehkonen
Country: Finland
Software: Painter, Photoshop

This is the first actual painting made with my new intuos3 tablet. Which by the way is awesome compared to wacom volito I had previously. :)

In this study i mainly focused on trying to reproduce the subtle colorvariations of the skin and the overall toning of the image, instead of accurately copying the whole painting.

I started by blocking the main shapes with Painters oil pastels and finished the piece in Photoshop using mostly one customised brush.

Man, you did a great job. I can 'feel' this pic and that is the most important thing in my opinion.

You've got my 5 stars.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

If you thingit looks like an oilpainting then I'm quite satisfied.
At first I thought about painting the whole thing with Painters oilpainting tools, but the quality wouldn't have been as "crisp" as with a customized, textured brush in photoshop.

There may be something wrong with the face, especially the eyes. I Repainted the whole face like five times, but I'm still not totally satisfied with it. :/
