From There to Here, From Here to There

Original concept sketch.

Color palatte chosen.

Main colors blocked in.

Initial face shadow work.

More skin and face work.

Face takes another direction. Looks weird.

Face looks different again.

Feature refinement.

Initial clothes work. Had a steampunk idea initially and started to work on that.

Worked on land in distance.

Sea work.

Sky added.

Clothes going in a different direction now. Dumped the edgy look idea.

Fun with satin! YAY!

Further lace work.

Hair.

Hummingbirds. I only drew 5 of them and then copied and changed their size and blend mode. Yay for Photoshop!

Changed the color balance on the background.

Final touches.

Didn't like the composition so I cropped it. Voila! Finished!
