Hey! Last June 16, 2011, my birthday, my sister gifted me a light pink Tee with print of a pretty girl wearing a cloth ribbon on her head.
The moment I looked at it, I fell in love with the girl and planned to draw it one of these days. I knew I could not draw it as identical as that figure shown above. The girl has an intricately sketched lock with only a few black strands. Thus, making my drawing session one of the toughest ones.
Eager to start my project, I brought my laptop and that shirt in the office on June 27, 2011 afternoon, set it up and began engrossing myself with my beautiful model. My boss was there but everybody seemed relaxed on that boring afternoon. So I occupied myself with artwork.
After several hours of sketching, brushing, filling, and layouting, I finally finished the drawing. I let my officemate see my work to gather opinion. She liked it but I didn’t. I was not satisfied with the outcome.

Something is wrong with the hair. It is plain black and overall, I find her face and even her shirt totally dull. Above all, her look is unhappy. Despite that ache starting to whack my head, I began trying to change her lips from slightly opened into a “closed-mouth-having-a-slight-touch-of-coyness-smile”. Here you go!

Still, I do not find her pretty.
I could not ignore my aching head anymore. So I stopped and began giving it a quick massage. It was stressing me out. Haha! That drawing was one of the hardest and the only piece that I could not make more beautiful than the original.
But then, I did not give up! Knowing me, I would always find ways to obtain that satisfaction I had been craving for. So just this morning, I planned to make alterations on her hair. Instead of just sketching, then filling it up with black color, I opted for the brush and tried in any way possible to make a few black strands. So I began erasing that total darkness by coating the hair with white (It’s like painting, you know.) and thought, “Maybe it’s better to modify the shirt, too, because it’s too old-fashioned. I’m gonna make it into a chic sleeveless shirt.”
Then the back-aching session began, strategically removing the hand clutching the hair in the picture to make the whole process easier. (FYI: Hands are difficult.) 
So, surprise!!!!!! Hahah!

Now, I am SATISFIED! I Love it! Hehe! How about you?
Tell me which one is better. I hope it’s mine! Hahah!
Till next drawing session guys!

I like both since one is different from the other.
thanks for the like!
by the way, I checked out some of your photos the other day. I wanted to comment on one of your photos there (gravatar has no comment-box,hmmfff…) because you have a resemblance to that girl in Glee. I just don’t know her screen name. But really, there’s similarity. 
thanks for droppin’ by
