STEP 1 - I started on a white canvas and began blocking colors and defining forms in a very traditional way. I decided on a dark color and my first intention was to make Vanessa floating on the water. I chose a green dress as I would like to add a touch of fairy forest. The color palette on this stage was basically skin tones and green tones for the dress.
STEP 2 - I started to add details: a little bit to the dress and to her face. I decided to add flowers as per the concept that I had in my mind.
STEP 3 - I further added more details on the face. I stressed on the looks and the eyes because I considered it to be very important. I added patterns and ornaments to the dress to make it more appealing and glamorous. But, this didn’t look good to me so I would change this later.
