Hi Em, Wow, this is really nice! Of course you had a beautiful subject to inspire you. Forgive my questions if they have been answered elswhere: you must be using photo reference, right? I am impressed by your wash of astmospheric color in most all of your pieces - is that your imput and not from the reference? Do you have any video tutorials? - I would love to see your process. Thanks for sharing!
1) I do use photo reference for the celebrity potraits, but most of the superhero stuff is done without reference.
2) The colour schemes are generally of my own doing. I'm not a big fan of overly literal colours, and I like to experiment with the moods and lighting.
3) I don't have any video tutorials, or even a clue as how to do one, but I'll try and do a step by step in the near future.

Possibly my favourite of yours. You've done so many pieces that have blown me away but i just keep on coming back to this one. So beautiful!
