Sofie met muts
28 Feb 2014
Digital painting of my girlfriend Sofie with her winter cap after a photo.
This is a big level-up for me, both in drawing, likeness, focus, colours and edges.
I used to think painting from a photo is kind of missing the point. Now I realise the added value a painting from a photo can bring to it, but only if it is not copied directly. Rather used as reference for a more deliberate picture of the subject. Call it a form of photo-manipulation, even if it is drawn from scratch.
A good lesson and experience.

Fell in love with some Ophelia themed paintings and wanted to make my own version.
