Once more, a study of a photo of the Japanese idol Kadena Reon from her photobook "HHH". I liked this photo a lot, different angle, lens effect, perspective and such.

The amount of time is an estimate. I didn't really keep note of it properly. Sometimes I would just draw a few lines or paint a bit during a couple of things like reading mail or waiting for something to load whilst browsing the internet and such. Sometimes an idea just popped in my head, so wanted to make a sketch of that first.

Also, I kept making adjustments to her face. It bothered me to much that her face was so different when compared to the photo, even though I wasn't painting a portret. It was just a study / cross hatching practice piece.

The cross hatching does give it all a weird texture. Next time I'm going to test out actual painting and try to go for the proper textures. I promise.
