Clarisse's sketchbook

[Clarisse Silva]

Ben and Amit, thank you so much guys! <3

I hate to admit this, but I realize that almost every painting I render lacks of planning on an early stage, because (and I know this is not good) I tend to be very "loyal" to the first image that comes into my head and just skip the thumbnails and the color sketches, etc; In this case, this idea just popped into my mind out of the blue and I just started to do it like I imagined it in the first place, without experimenting any different varitions. I screwd up, I should've tried more variations, should've made more sketches but oh well, I guess we also learn from mistakes.

Anyway, I finished this before reading your comments, because I only saw them this morning and I finished this yesterday's evening. However, everything you both said makes perfect sense to me, is just the kind of advice and motivation I was looking for and I will have all those things in mind when I get to paint again.

Thank you again guys, this means a lot to me! :D

Here is the final (in a more reduced size)
