In this tutorial you will see the process of which I painted "Sapphire
Blue", because there are too much I could not cover in detail.
Therefore it is recommended for people who are already familar with
the Program and the basic techniques.
Program:

Sketch
- First start off with a quick sketch, of my idea, I wanted a sleek
elven lady with a sly/evil look. Her features have to be slender
fine , yet define, with straight black hair and blue eyes, to go
with the Sapphire Blue theme. I roughly depict a moon some clouds
ocean and probably part of the ship cause she is meant to me a pirate. |

Skin
tone - Lighten the lines and I could start applying the
basic colours on a separate layer, I intend to have the picture
set at night , so I thought a bluish tone skin will go with the
night light, I shaded some basic shadow and a Blue backlight for
the moon behind her. |

Face
- I painted the nose, and starting to sculpt the features of the
face and drew in faintly the eyes and lips. Here you see that I
change the smile from a closed mouth smile to open mouth smile.
snicker. |

Eyes
- To paint the eyes always start with a base colour as in "DETAIL
4A", then shade in the lights and shadows of
the pupils, and paint in the lashes with a brush strokes like "DETAIL
4B" |
