Description

Since Riezel had already opened her gift, I can now post this art. (I decided not to post this before in order not to spoil the surprise). So, I made this art for Riezel, a friend and college blockmate, for her 18th birthday. This art is an accomplishment because [I believe] this portrait is the first drawing I've done with a true background. Yes, most of my drawings do not have true background: just gradients, or plain white. I think the perspective here is done pretty well; constructive comments please? I also put more details in coloring this drawing than I've ever placed in other deviations :)

Anyway, happy 18th birthday Riezel! Yay, we're already of the same age!

Credits:
Hatch1921 for the wood texture.
Zaphk for the simple yet amazing CG tutorial. Read the deviation's description for the tutorial.

I had difficulty coloring this drawing using my tablet after taking a very long hiatus from making artworks due to school. Zaphk's tutorial really helped me so I owe him a big thanks.

Overall, the result satisfies me. It will be nice if Riezel appreciates this gift. She said she does, so I'm fully satisfied now. :)

I know, Lilbert, and it's amazing! Seriously. The details are just awesome. What I'm envying most right now though is the seemingly lineartless art. O____O The lines are so fine. O:

A comment though: She looks a bit stiff. And the textures for the chairs seem very obvious. You could've at least changed the direction of some of the lines to make it more realistic. :)
