Lady Anemone
Digital Painting
2024

This lady started as an experiment in painting a portrait from imagination — no reference image or model. I quite enjoyed the process, and I like the result well enough to share it here. She was painted digitally, entirely in Sketchbook Pro, first using the ballpoint pen brush, then oil brushes and smudging tools.

Sketchbook Pro was one of the first digital drawing apps I ever used. I’m not sure why I ever moved away from it. I love the natural, intuitive feel of the brushes in the app, so I’ll definitely continue using it for future digital work.
