Gift for a certain Gleek named $Heidi. She is obsessed...!
I actually really enjoyed painting this. Was trying out a new color palette. Painted in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, several hours, from photo reference of Lea Michele.
EDIT 04/26/12 - Woowwwww! Lea Michele herself has posted this portrait on her Facebook account! Here's the link to the post, which as of this moment has well over 23,000 likes on it! Crazy! I'm so happy she likes it!
This is just such a beautifully done portrait. You have totally captured her emotion and pain through this painting, and I can practically hear her singing to me. The colors are fantastic...and really this painting is just so breathtaking.
