It was an order for the number one email provider in Russia (Mail.ru). They needed 10 cards with different typical mail.ru users depicted on that. There was work of copywriter here and they offered me all the ideas so I just had to draw what being said. I love this project. Here is another piece.
References
It's easy to create loving and caring woman when you have real life examples. I was thinking about one of them while drawing using these references from Shutterstock.
The Process
Haha! I don't believe I had this stupid awful sketch but this was my start.
I rememer I've took the color gamma from my favorite illustrator Oksana @grivina works here. I learn a lot from her and really appreciate her art. Make sure to check out her blog on Steem, guys.
I don't have much of the stages here because I was working in rush and my client was not asking me to show anything but sketches and finals approving almost everything on that project. But here is what I am usually start with. I always need beautiful woman face first to be inspired to finish the whole piece. So I've started with that. This is Adobe Photoshop again. No vector shapes. Just pure drawing :)
Final
Here is what has been approved by my client.
