Description

While trying to explain how I draw to a friend I did a sketch of AJ and it looked cute so I decided to paint it. Since I've been starting acrylic class this quarter I decided to spend a bit more time on the background this time (usually it's dreadfully boring). Tried out some real world painting techniques (getting inspired by Bob Ross paint videos of happiness) and focused on utilizing more color in my shadows and trying to have better contrast. 

I kind of like the idea of making a nice character portrait series out of this. It was a lot of fun and I learned alot. 

The initial sketch looked very White Diamondy so I was going to paint it like she would but I decided to hold back on a few of her more stylistic choices and just do what felt right. Still looks like a crappy ripoff of her anyway but whatever I hope you enjoy it anyway ^^
