Hello dear Steemians,


 

Today I wanted to present you my latest work, that was inspired by one of the beautiful photography of Mindaugas Navickas, the professional photographer who is registered as Steemit user @fotomindo from Vilnius, Lithuania.

 



 

His portrait photography is something that caught the eye of viewers, his skill to show the models from their best sides is his distinct feature. Therefore today I wanted to present you my pastel portrait and hope you like it.

 



 
My step-by-step process:

Very beautiful portrait Stef:)

Thank you very much for your nice words :)

WOW!!! It's a beautiful portrait, I love how you worked the shading and that hair that one day I dream of having it like that.

Those eyes are very beautiful and striking... every job done with pastel is better than the last. <3 <3 <3

Very nice portrait done in pastel, @stef1 :) Really liking how you did the hair and lips! You wield pink tones so wonderfully! :D

Hi @veryspider and I am glad you like it, it was a bit challenge to do the hair, white on white was not really easy :)

Your ability to manipulate pastel is extraordinary. What I love most in this piece is her striking and charming eyes. The cool background you gave the sums it up.

Thank you, I love to do eyes and pastel is the best medium for that :)

Good job! Thank you for sharing the step by step of your art.

Thank you for stopping by and I am glad you like the presentation of my work :)

육감적인 입술 표현이 좋습니다. 내생각엔 턱끝을 좀더 연하
게하고 턱밑은 진하게하고 목주위 밝게한 흰선이 선명하면
얼굴과 목이 끊어저 보여요

It really is a portrait made with care and affection. ¡Regards! :)

Thank you for your nice comment, you are right, I loved the photo so tried my best to reflect that and of course it was time consuming :)
