I painted this protrait for my elementary school classmate, YuYu. So many years we don't contact with each other because we had no MSN, no QQ, and no email...etc about 15 years ago. (And we are too lazy to write letter :P)After 15 years, iIt's not easy we met again recently and she has become a pretty woman. This is a present for her.


Here is reference.

This is a photo of YuYu with a side face. Because this paint that might be a present for her and I think if someone couldn't recognize her is not good. So I asked YuYu to give me a pic with full face. I reshadowed the face, changed the color mood, and lifted up the value of this pic. I finished it completely in photohsop 7.01. I spent about 3 days on it. Hope you like it !
