Queenly portrait

I woke up this morning ready to paint another female portrait, so I did. Here's the finished portrait

Things I like :

Overall glossy look.

The bonnet like crown which was incidental and the sparkles in the hair.

The glossy lips.

The expression of her face.

Progress shots can be seen below.
I started with a rather simple sketch

Then I began to fill the base colors

Started to define the nose with some shadows

Defined the face as a whole

Lots of experimental work to get to this stage :)

This was painted in sketchbook pro and my phone.

Thanks for stopping by:)
