Time Lapse: A Sharpened Heart

This portrait of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland was painted over three days, during my spare time. Probably around six or seven hours total.

The technique is a little different from my other works. I don't usually start in black and white, but it gave me a nice chance to explore the lines and shapes. Her costume is an update on a design I did for a play version of Alice in Wonderland about eleven years ago.

Painted in Corel Painter IX with a Wacom Intuos Tablet.

what kinds of brushes do you tend to use?

@RAVENEDD Computers software emulate tradition paint very well these days. To achieve the same quality in tradition painting would take x3 as long if not a lot more. No point.
