I was viewing Speed painting techniques on YouTube and there are some wonderful examples by many talented people out there. I wanted to try it out myself. So here it is. Used an existing image of a girl, used Photoshop and my graphic tablet to sketch her out, and then add colors, shading etc. I showed the process below; separate images for different sections.
