Virna in Mcqueen

Virna Lisi is one of the most beautiful actresses I've seen. Loved her in Queen Margot and How to kill your wife. For this series, I choose actresses from way back into the film history because I believe the beauty they had is lost in today's hyper-sexualized pop culture. Anyways, here is Virna in Mcqueen I visioned, and I hope you enjoy this.

 First stage for me is sketching a draft and then blocking in the color I had in my mind for the painting. It is always good to work in big brush stroke in the beginning to get a feel of spacial and surface orientation.

 Step two, I added in the clothing and footwear details.

 Refining as I see fit.

 The skin needed alot of work. I also fixed her facial features.

Final cleanup and color correcting.
