Digital Painting

There are different people out there from who I get my inspiration. One of the persons I adore is called Loish. I know Loish' art from Deviantart. http://loish.deviantart.com. I love her artwork because it is raw in some way, but still it blends with all the colors. The anatomy in her artwork is so nice and I also like her portraits very much.
When I see her work I just want to draw as much as I can, so hopefully I can be as good as she is one day.
That's why I looked at a new portrait of her and I thought, I want to try that aswell! I want to try digital painting like that. So I did.
It's not yet finished, but I'm so glad already with this outcome. Definitely because it's my first time trying. So that's why I'm showing work in progress, because I just want to show someone!
I do hope I will be entirely glad one day, because I keep adjusting. But untill now it's only getting better by adjusting, so, we'll see..
