Girl with a hat - student project

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for this class!  It's a great class!  Drawing people is one of my favorite subjects when it comes to illustration but I really find it difficult to create them in watercolor.  I picked up great tips from your class and I tried applying them on this drawing.

Here is what I came up with.  Still need improvement on some areas like the face (the nose especially :) ) but I'm pretty happy with it...at least for now.  I would probably still edit this in Photoshop to clean up but I thought of posting the original end-product.

I realized I wasn't able to get a picture of the pencil drawing.  Here is the inital stage of watercolor though.....

...and my reference photo.  Not exactly the same but I was inspired by the girl's face and outfit.

Thanks again!
