New Portrait

I remember that a month ago I was browsing a magazine in search of inspiration and I found an interesting commercial. It showed the face of a beautiful girl holding a necklace with flowers, and I found it suitable for my mood and my inner desire for spring. I decided to draw a sketch and immortalize my ideas on paper. Anyway, that was just the starting point of the whole composition. I drew the face lines softly as I saw in that magazine but I decided to make it more personal. As I have an obsession with green eyes, maybe because I, myself have bright green eyes, I happen to like them at other people too, haha, so I draw some big green eyes and applied a strong make up , extremely long eye lashes, dark shadow which gives the impression of a perfect shape. I wanted to create something beautiful, as I see it not what other people want us to believe.

Furthermore, I wanted to bring everything to life by adding a bit of color. And what comes next? Red, of course, an immortal color, always fashionable, chic, feminine, mysterious. Everything that i like , no wonder is my favorite color . Red lips look so appealing , and will always be the superlative of everything that is feminine and beautiful so this detail cant be missed. Red will also be found at the Victorian style hat she is wearing combined with other shades of pink and orange.
But, apart from all these elements I wanted to picture my mood from that particular day : waiting and begging for the spring to come and the rain to stop. So the girl has a special facial expression, she is asking something, as I was. Holding thin flowers in her hands, she shows them to a powerful somebody to who she is praying. Will her prayer be listened? Let`s wait and see ...
I know that the quality of the picture is not very good but I hope the drawing is visible enough. This is only a sketch and i want to continue it ...someday when I will be in the right mood .
