Description

This is a portrait/study of Ellie (of The Last of Us), which I did for =>  :iconmsimoneaux20:

I had promised to do it a long time ago and it took forever to get to, because I had so much other stuff to do, but most of all I really wanted to play the game and experience the character for myself. I'm definitely happy I did that. I started it a thousand times and scrapped it, then started it again, scrapped again etc. Finally I decided I wasn't going to scrap this sketch, so I finished it.

I really loved the game, I loved the character... probably one of the best female characters I've ever seen in a long time (in any film or game).
I used a screenshot as a ref for her face and clothing, here it is => www.busygamernation.com/Window… (not quite this one, but this is as close as I could get)
I couldn't get the portrait quite right, I know, but I tried. I'm still learning after all. The eyes aren't quite as they should be, nor the nose, the hair... But I did this for practice and hopefully for my friend (if he remembers ;D)

Here is a link to the bgr image I used => einheit00.deviantart.com/art/S…
I decided it looks more convincing that way, since the game enviros are kind of photographic and since I don't have the skill to paint this kind of detail (yet), I just used the stock photo.
