Inspired by digital artist, Anna Dittman, whom I would have loved to commission but couldn’t afford. Instead, I DIY’d it and surprised myself by flexing my portrait painting muscles.
Yeah, I *used* to be an artist before Being Human and Hal Yorke took over my muse…

Not to brag, but I got one of these limited edition prints when Sae was here this weekend! Absolutely Gorgeous. Of course, I have an original watercolor she made for me last year... Sae, can I post that here too?

Yes! Please feel free to post last year's watercolor Whimsy. I neglected to take a good scan of that one before gifting it! I decided I like the larger format better. Easier to get good hair and angst detail to fit in!

Thank you all for your wonderful and encouraging responses!
Domino - thanks for putting up with my lack of understanding on photo uploads! Obvious I'm usually just here to LOOK at photos!
CoraTribal - don't be intimidated! The more sketches you do the better they get. This one took a couple of sketches I threw away, a watercolor "blood" test and about 6 hours of painting. Halfway through I almost binned it. Glad I pushed forward!
fifi - by "used" to be I just meant that I used to paint a whole lot more - before the muse to write an epic-long Being Human / Hal Yorke fanfic took over my life! I still paint, just not usually portraits. Though, after this that muse of mine just wants to make more!

Here is a scan of the watercolor Sae made for my birthday last year. She knows how fond I am of that particular picture! He looks so sad it makes my heart ache to look at it.
