Vera Salacia| Splinterlands Art Contest Week 250

Hey there!

Im here again with another entry for the contest and 250 is quite a number and if my knowledge serves me (which I don’t think it does right now), there are like 54 weeks in a year meaning this contest has been running for over 5 years. That’s impressive. What else is impressive but not surprising is that we have hit the August break in the rain season before August itself. There’s been a lot of sunshine and you can see some plants enjoying sun and thriving. Before I go on and on and forget i was here to share my submission for the week

First I must say that this was so straightforward and yet so frustrating for me and I think it was because I have not been drawing a lot of portraits and the almost 7days in between the last drawing i did was enough for me to lose my momentum in process to the extent that I almost thought I had forgotten how to render. The lesson is that I need to practice more.

Here’s the model I used

The reference

And finally some process shots

I can say I am glad Indid not give up when I felt I couldn’t get it right. I Hope you liked it and Thank you for your attention.
