[Sketch Lolita] Making of my sweet lolita painting 08

The last sweet lolita post but not least. It is the full sweet lolita picture.

First of all i am a beginner so please don't be cruel with someone that is trying to improve. I worked on that picture a whole month (i will need the eternity to improve...) :
- this artwork is a pretty girl
- it is a 2D painting in GIMP and outline in INKSCAPE
- for the brushes, proportions and colors i took reference from a lot of sources and the transcription of thoses references pictures on my paint/draw are so poor that i will not make a bad ad to the wonderfull painter or drawer or photographer or model that inspire me in making an association with my weird creation... (except obviously if the authors want to)
- there is a lot of problems on that picture, from the proportions, the colors etc...
- so that is a start and that picture will be my kind of mona lisa, i will paint it, repaint it,repaint it,repaint it,repaint it,repaint it,repaint it,repaint it,repaint it, repaint it until i will be fine with the result.

Thanks for watching and reading !

[Sketch Lolita] Making of my sweet lolita painting 07

A little close up on the eyes. Done in gimp inspired by hanagumori make up.
The eye's shape is Salliss suicide like. The outline is done in inkscape.

The details are quite ugly, really sorry about that ! I still learning the brush use, layers, colors ...

[Sketch Lolita] Making of my sweet lolita painting 06

Then we go with the feet part. I took antigone suicide left feet as the reference picture.
And it takes me 3 hours in gimp to paint. I try my best.

In order to match the picture, i had to duplicate the left foot copy flip and adjust to obtain two quite nice feet with stars ;)

Feet were a little too white than the peachy color of the rest of the body so later i adjust the feet skin in a peachier tone.

Then we go with the upper body. I wanted something sexy but not to much !

So i decided just to show one breast and i have the choice between :
- no breasts
- flat breasts
- middle age
- anatomically correct
- or a stylized like thoses of bielegraphics

Finally i choose the last solution that is kind of sexy but if you really want to see something really good and sexy go to see the bielegraphics deviant art page. Awesome !

[Sketch Lolita] Making of my sweet lolita painting 02

After the head, it follows with the body. Usually i do nude girl but for once i wanted to dress the girl a little bit with a cute top and nice dress.

So here is the result made in pencil animation. But the dress and the top was a problem for me because i wanted something transparent. However i don't really know how to do that in painting and that will look like a dress !

Then i find a girl with the pose next to the draw in a stripper flash software. That is what i was looking for !

- The pose will roughly be that one with a flip
- No more clothes needed because quite everything is hidden by the pose
- The face is not round enough so i took lolita side : dominique swain face
- The eyes were not enough killer cute so i redo them with a salliss form from the suicide girl
- and i wanted lolita to kiss so i search blow a kiss and find that girl

I have all the reference pieces needed and a good idea of what i wanted to do so i restarted drawing in gimp !
