Look! Danielle can do things other than anime! :dance: (But only if she has a really, really good reference...)

To be honest, I was a little nervous about submitting this, because it is so different from what I usually do. But hey, we have to step out of our comfort zones once in a while, right? Or else, we'll never learn anything new at all...
I'm not especially skilled at creating a realistic human face simply from memory, so I decided to use a stock image. I'll continue to practice like this untill I can hopefully create my own, unique compositions. Learning, learning... always learning...

About the title -- it is kinda funny to do a fall-like image during the spring, but it is my favorite season after all! (But the colors are spring-ish, don't you think?)

Edit I thickened the border a bit.

This would not have been possible without an amazing reference by a fantastic stock artist. Check them out... :iconkatanaz-stock:

Still thinking of fall... is a stunning example of a color experiment gone right. *Elle-H masterfully painted the crisp, highly developed details in the scarf, then let those colors radiate throughout the image. (Featured by $damphyr)

House: if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this: this is Vicodin. It's mine! You can't have any! And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem... but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell.
