Potential Christmas card for friends and family this year. Lots of details to add, but I think I've at least got the gist of the picture down!

Video!

Tried my hand at making a video of me painting a quick portrait. The whole thing is sped up about 8x, and there's no voiceover (because I'm shy) or music (because I'm a failure at video editing).

Now that I know roughly how CamStudio works though, I can probably make more videos later down the line!

Dryad? Tree lady? Dante's fourth level of Hell?

From a class! Wish I were cool like Abby and painted things in my free time. <3

I imagined a really, really dark-skinned African woman with cool skin tones, but the lack of reference pictures and my bad habit of color balancing changed all that!

Much to my chagrin, I keep listening to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance." LAHV LAHV LAHV.
