Wiebke - Portrait

 

I drew this portrait for the birthday of a friend of mine. I'm not really satisfied and my boyfriend even says he doesn't recognize her at all...haha ^^°

I guess that's mainly because of the 'colours' I chose, actually she's a pretty blue-eyed blondie but since the reference for this drawing was a black-white photograph I decided to use sepia shades. Wrong decision obviously. But otherwise it still has some sort of likeness I guess...ahah :D

Broken Twins - Sketch

'Una and Fleur are so called 'Broken Twins'. Both are connected to each other and a terrible fate surrounds them. According to the legend the sister who dies first will go to hell - the other one will face a peaceful dead. But the twin has to be murdered by the hand of its sibling. So they both hit the road, hate-ridden, to find and kill each other...'

That's the story written by a lovely girl who asked me to design the cover image for it.

She commissioned me a few weeks ago and I finally managed to get at least the outlines done. I've used the yin and yang symbol as the basis to symbolise how deeply connected both sisters are. Also I tried to illustrate their opposed charakters according to the description by the author.

It's the first time I've made a gif animation to show the different steps of the drawing process. 

I think it works quite well.:3
