Verona

Reference used: A photo of German actress and model Verona Feldbusch.

Comment: One day I stumbled upon this photo of Verona Feldbusch. I really liked the expression in her face, as well as the composition - this doll-like face popping up in the middle of white fur. I knew I had to do my own interpretation of this picture. So I did.
I tried to achieve an artificial or super-realistic look in this picture. I wanted her to have quite a plastic look, rather than natural. It was very interesting to see how far I could go with the sugar-sweet attributes (large, brown 'Bambi' eyes, big pouting lips, etc.) - without actually ending up with a doll.
