Shy Smile

This is sweet little girl, a bit quiet and shy. She was very clever and helpful, and kind to others around her. She glows with a pureness, and wonderful soul. She doesn't realize that she will always have a heart of gold. This portrait is one in a series of children that I have done using my Wacom art tablet and pen. I use Painter IX software to update wthe details that I could not get using Painter CLassic art software. I used pastels, chalks, airbrushes, and blending tools as I painted this protrait. I used several photos as a reference only, this is not a manipulated photo.

This is amazing too, I have done a couple photo manipulations, but I think theyre obvious manipulations, I think your the first I've noticed that computer paints over origionals or sketches, or builds them from scratch in the computer like I do, not much different than canvas work just not as messy. I enjoyed your gallery, your very tallented!

She's a beauty, that's for sure. I envy her beautiful long lashes. Watch out when she's a teen! Those eyes will mesmerize the boys. Wonderful work Terry.

Artist Reply: Thank you Maddison! She has a bunch already chasing her. She just isn't interested yet.

Terry, you are so perfect at this, the capture of the emotion the skin tones, the cloth and the facial structure. amazing. I adore your work. miguel

Artist Reply: Thank you Miguel! I try to think of their character and personality when I'm painting them. If I take the reference photos myself, I can get the look I want. If a client sends me photos of the subject, I ask about them to learn a bit about who I am painting. I can get a good feel of thm that way and the portraits come out better and on target.
