St. Joan of Arcby ~Reine-Haru

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / People / Portraits

I have had such a wonderful time painting this. It has been a great distraction from all the medical turmoil that's been going on. I started it sometime after Christmas and have been painting a little here and there ever since. I always love painting faces (which leaves me to find clever ways of dealing with everything else...like hair, yuck). The designs were also fun to doodle on; it felt like sketching embroidery designs.

My mother loves icons, so I think I've unconsciously picked up on some of the style. I also really like both realism and more illustrationy styles, so I tried to find a nice harmony of them here. For not being terribly religious, I'm quite interested in saints. St. Joan of Arc has always been a personal favorite of mine.

Truly amazing. You have a great style and I love how you perfectly paint the skin colour. I still struggle with that, but I guess its just practice practice practice
