…Set To Music

Digital painting of young caucasian woman with dyed black and red hair. She is thin and is wearing a black skirt, black knee-high socks, and a green and black stripped shirt. She is sitting at a desk, listening to a pair of over-the-ear headphones. The room is dark, lit by her desk lamp, a salt lamp on a shelf, two candles, and her computer screen. There are books and trinkets and clutter on the desks and shelves, and the walls are covered in posters, photographs, and ticket stubs. There is an electric keyboard in the corner. There is rain on the window. The woman is looking down slightly and smiling. Cropped close-up to show details. Cropped close-up to show details. Cropped close-up to show details.

I am so glad to say that this piece is done!

The idea here is that it’s late, it’s rainy, it’s dark, and Nicolette is by herself. But she’s listening to music that reminds her of her loved ones (perhaps, one specific loved one) and smiles because she’s not actually alone.

I wound up going in and throwing the paint daubs filter over the background and turning it down slightly to blur it a bit so that really only Nicolette is fully in focus. I tend to leave everything very sharp, so this is subtle but I think it works.

I think I achieved all the goals I set when I decided to redo my old drawing, and it’s always nice to see proof that I’ve gotten better at all this.

Digital painting of a young caucasian woman sitting at a wooden desk. She has fair skin, long brown hair with side-swept bangs, and is wearing a white button-up shirt, black sweater, red skirt, and black flats. On the desk is a notebook, guitar pick, and laptop computer. Plugged into the laptop is a pair of over the ear headphones that she is listening to. A white electric guitar is leaning against the desk. There is a bed with red sheets to the left. In the background is a window showing a stormy city skyline.
