Illustrator; 6h
Yesterday evening I decided it was time to do a self-portrait again
So I took a crappy picture of myself. Which didn't work out until I took the pic in front of a mirror so i could see the preview at the back of the cam
I wanted it to be glamourous, but then i failed at putting on make-up before I took the pic and was too lazy to vector it in later
So, the light was added to get a certain artificial atmosphere. Neon Lights outside or in a club (I don't go to clubs, so…)
And sparks, cos… well, sparks look cool
Anyway, I am very happy with the outcome The shading on the skin could be more detailed and smoother, but I don't mind if people are able to tell it's vector ^^ (And then the fact that there's lighting on top, made more detailed skin shading partly pointless anyway)
I was moving from hair to skin to light to colors to hair to skin etc all the time. I didnt finish one thing first, I worked on everything at the same time.
Probably I took some inpiration from `shebids last piece and from *Aseo, who uses neon lighting a lot as well.
Long description is long
Hope you like it
[Edit: I had completely forgotten to add eyebrows. like COMPLETELY. here they are now. Plus some more hair strands going wil and tiny gradients under the skin shading. I prefer it like this.
Now, how many of you noticed at all that i had forgotten the eyebrows? ^_^]

I'm going to start off by saying I love this picture.
I love vector art, and this has definitely been well done.
The colours are smooth and they work together, creating a nice, warm atmosphere.
The woman has a somewhat thoughtful expression on her face, which piques the interest.
I love the sparkling dots that were added around the eyes and hair. It makes the picture appear to glow and sparkle.
Each and every strand of the hair is shaped properly, making it look natural.
The colours and tones used in the background contrast with the colour of the face. I like how the background has a sort of bokeh effect.
The skin tones on the face are amazing. It's been shaded properly, and the gradients stop it from being too dead straight realistic.
Overall, a very well done piece of vector art. Love it!
