Painting n°4: Aly & AJ

Aly & AJ Michalka, now known as 78Violet, were done separetly for this painting. I first worked on an Aly portrait, and then on the AJ one.

I started AJ in September, before going back to school. The beginning of the painting was done during a week, but then it took me 2 more to finish it.

I spent 7 hours on it, mostly because I changed her skin & hair color many times.

I wanted a photo for both that looked cute and recent. So I used pictures from events as a basis.



Aly was done way before AJ. I must say that I like my AJ painting more than this one, cause I think it looks more like her.

Aly's eyes were pretty cool to do. I like how they look like "cat eyes". Her mouth was fun too. But her hair... lol

I spent 5 hours on this painting. i believe what took me more time on the AJ painting than on this one is AJ's hand. Here Aly doesn't show her hands.

As always, full view on Deviantart :D
