The girl in the picture was my primary school classmate, she asked me for a drawing of her, and I promised her.
Till now, this is the one that lasted longest from I started to drawing till finished it. It's not too hard or too complicated to draw it, but I drawed it at many times, a little progess each time.
The part that satisfies me most is the clothes she's wearing. Honestly speaking, this picture is not quite satisfying, one reason is the picture she gave me was not large and clear enough for me to recognize the details, such like the shadow on her face. However, this is an important drawing to me, since I might choose another software for drawing, and I changed a lot my mind about the purpose of drawing, all because of this picture.
I often do counterdraws, and the main purpose was to draw as likely as possible, the best situation is my drawing would look like a copy of the orginal picture.
However, I found it not that interesting anymore, since the original pictures that I imitate become more and more complicated, that I need more and more time and spirit to analyze each part and copy it as well as possible, so more and more boring. That's why I decided to do some creation.
Take this picture as example, I ommitted a lot of things in the background, as well as something printed on the T-shirt. In many parts, I didn't just copy the orginal one, as before, but rather to add more lines and color to make the picture look more natural.
I do enjoyed this way of drawing, and I shall do it that way in the future.
On the other hand, I may choose the software called Painter for drawing in the future, because it provides much more different tools and effects, without lost of fun of drawing. However, it's a little more difficult than ArtStudio I'm using, so I should learn how to use it for a while.
