See, I Told You

Despite the self-pitying "why bother" tone of my post yesterday, I told you that there was very little chance that I would actually quit drawing. Here's the proof:



It's a portrait of Scarlett Johansson inspired by the "Pop Art" style of Lichtenstein.
Or more accurately, it was inspired by a tutorial that was inspired by the "Pop Art" style of Lichtenstein.
The person who made the tutorial - one Melissa Clifton - had used a picture of Scarlett for her example so it only seemed fitting that I do the same.
Besides, considering how much time I spent on this it only made sense to have someone really nice to look at as my model.
I actually learned a lot from this tutorial, particularly about the advantages of tweaking the brush settings.
I also learned that Scarlett Johansson is really, really, really beautiful, though I had already suspected that.
One other thing of note was that, even though I was up until 2:30 in the morning working on this picture, the pain in hand/wrist never got much beyond a dull ache and stiffness, so it would seem that the chiropractic treatment is actually working.
Oh, and if you didn't know, the inclusion of thought balloons was a staple of Lichtenstein's work, which is why mine includes one. As to what the "If Only..." is about, I'll leave that to your imaginations.
