Description

I painted this for a contest on comic heroes... I don't know anything about supergirl, just to be totally honest, but I love comic artworks, and I always loved how Adam Hughes make his girl to look sweeter than any other comic artist I know, so I wanted to paint my own sweet supergirl.

For this painting, as I always do, I did a rough for emotional reference and then I looked for reference. But when the correct proportion seems to lose the feeling of my sketch, I preferred the choices I made in the sketch.

So the head is very big, the face is not very realistic, but I hope I preserved the right feeling.

As for the technique, this was the real challenge of this work: I started with dry brush acrylic (I don't love acrylic, but I had a workshop with the great artist Gianni De Conno where he introduced me to this technique), lately I digitally corrected contrasts and modified something of the face and very much of the hair, trying to leave as much traditional brushwork as possible.

I'm experimenting very much in mixing traditional and digital, is a grat fun! :)
