Open my Heart to Youby *DestinyBlue

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Drawings

She opens herself up and reveals her soul to someone for the first time.

The beginnings of Paige's story. With

and

following.
I wanted to show her innocence and her naive willingness to expose herself (in stark contrast to the next piece) Her story's not finished yet, please do expect a few more following images of this young lady.

Not entirely happy with the outcome....
The concept of her exposing her glowing heart/soul by lifting up her skin, like undressing, I like; but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I used a reference photo of myself, so tried to go for a more realistic anime look with the pose, but I understand the angles of the arms, though realistic, don't work so well. I really really enjoyed painting the glow from beneath her skin, though yes, I sacrificed her boobs for this

But yay, drippy glow! ^0^
I learned a lot and will prepare better at the initial conception of a piece from now on.
