 I then shifted the entire piece value from pinkish to more of a dark peach color because now the new saturated pink hair color was getting too rich and distracting from the rest of the image.


Next step - the hair in the previous stage was still too distracting to my taste, so I decided that the more detail I add to it will might blend all those curls back in. So I added some feather ornaments to the hair, and painted in a new set of eyebrows and a fake mole.



Finally, created a simple background gradient, which complimented the color palette of the character and pushed it out a bit more. I still felt that the hair and character needed some more jewelry so I painted in some bows and bracelets, added a hint of her dress behind her because I felt it wasn’t clear she was holding a dress at all, and even a small parrot to make it a bit less serious, and that’s it... I hope you liked this short walkthrough, and hope it helped your process in some way. Happy Painting.
