Sailor Mars! Work in Progress

Over the winter break I began a large project: to paint realistic Sailor Scout portraits. The anime Sailor Moon has been my passion since I was a kid, and continues to inspire me to this day. It was thanks to obsessively drawing Sailor Moon as a child that I grew to love art. 

I've made progress on all of the portraits, but Sailor Mars is the closest to completion. I'm really happy with the bounce light on her nose. I still need to research fabric textures to paint it correctly and perhaps fix some of the shading on her face.
