Janet Michelle

This is a pro bono I did for a friend on Facebook in between juggling commissions. Her name is Janet Michelle and is an amateur fashion model. This was a challenge because it's one of the first tries at a Latin fleshtone. This is on 9 x 12" Bienfang and incorporates mixed media. I'm proud of my work on the hair and the eyes. I accomplished the softness of the hair on the shoulder by using PC 935 Prismacolor, which is basically black. It conveyed the gentility of the strands better than the micron blacks I used for the rest of her locks. I also went that route by using the black pencil for her eyeliner and eyebrows. You can look for Janet's modelling shots on Facebook, and those looking to book her for photoshoots can reach her at michelejanet062@gmail.com.
