Reference PhotoIn ProgressfINAL This is my seventh concentration, my sister on a train in Clarens, Switzerland. My family and I took a day to explore Switzerland by train and adventure out through the Alps. By doing this we ended up in Bern, Switzerland - the German speaking part. To do this it required an early wake up call, so we slept through some of it; my mom was so mad at us because we were missing the amazing views on the way there
When I started this piece I decided to trace part of it so I could get my sister to look as much as herself as possible. When I started putting prisma to paper, I saturated the architecture of the train while providing the shadow in the background. Then I progressed to work on Jen's hair; I mixed two browns with a light yellow and a beige. I went in with a white and a dark brown to add the highlights and shadows to create depth. Jen's face was easy, but it was difficult to get her facial features to look correct. The eyelids and lips was the most challenging part. I feel kinda bad because her lips look like they have injections, but that's exactly the shape they were in the picture - oh well. The left side was the easiest part. I initially had no idea how I was going to cohesively do a reflection in the window. The background was easy, but the other Jen was horrible. She doesn't look like Jen at all. I gave up after I realized that and started working on blending the background in with the reflection. At the last minute I added the white streaks, I don't know if I like it. If I could go back and do it all over I would redo the whole right side of the piece and make it look more realistic.
