Shari

Another portrait I did as a gift. I did ALOT of layering to get the hair right, so much that I'm still at a loss to remember to exactly how I did it, but the colorless blender helped. I had to really restrain myself on the skin tone to get the light look and contrast I wanted. The character in the upper left I put in w/a rubber stamp and scrapbook ink. I'm so glad it came out the way it did - how I actually intended! First time stamping over colored pencil and I was afraid it'd smear or something.
