Well.... Katarina is one of my comic character; but the original model for this picture was Kate moss.... that was for a parfume advertising if my memorie is good

Ok so; 1 st attempt in Oil; so some areas are strange coz' hey, I never used them before! so I didn't really knew how to use them.... I started to know how; aproching the end of this product in fact

As I was saying, I use a picture from an advertising. I thought it was a cool picture for a first attempt in oil:
Contained High light and 2 angles of view of a same character, with two differents lightning points.... very interesting.
However I'm not a big fan of Kate moss face.... so..... I told myself It could be interesting to use that picture to made an illustration for one of MY character !
You probably noticed that the eyes still contains Kate moss aspect However..... I hadn't really managed to escape from the original model finally.... A bit bad, but whatever.....


Material:
a4 canvas paper.
oils.
time of work; started december 2004; finished march 2005; that's all I know ; but, NO I didn't wotk on it all the days, and many many many hours....
oil dry slowlyn so I just painted this one aproximatly once time by week !


[é]09 06 06: new version: I painted over it some new things: more light; some new shad (hair to skin); hum... the white are now... white (yeah, before the white was not terrible -_-')
