P.S. i cant take credit for the concept because the original one was done by the lovely Charlie Bowater, but my versions are different so its not "Copying"

War Paint 3

ANOTHER remake of war paint :)

they keep getting better and better in my opinion.....
ahhh... I do know i just love this :)

i only took 15 minutes on the hair and im proud of it. haha

i am IN LOVE with this concept. This is my third digital art painting :):)



Note from Kerry:
Lauren, only one word came to my mind when I viewed your second version of "War Paint", and that word is "Stunning!" Your unique style is still there, bold and brave, and completely admirable.

Re War Paint 3
Hi again Lauren
It's great to know you are loving creating things digitally. I do have a tablet but I haven't had any time to experiment with it. One of these days I'm going to give myself a day (maybe a week?) for me and my art.

Here is your original version of War Paint which you sent in January 2011. I'm so partial to black and white drawings, I think I still like that one A LOT.

ok now michael dont get too carried away ;) i just thought it would look more natural without a top or clothing to distract you from her face
and i dont know i love drawing woman... there much more fun to draw and easier to show emotion... but thanks :)

Agree....

Yup, I agree. I prefer to draw women, for the obvious reasons, but also because women have such smoother, flowing lines. Men are more chisled, harder features. Women are truelly living works of art.....
