For anyone confused, this IS a digital painting, NOT a photograph

First off, I just want to say that I had the best time painting this! It's definitely the most detailed and photo realistic painting I have ever done. There were so many different colors and

tones in the face that I got to play around with. I'm so happy on how it turned out, and the snow effects really bring it all together! I will be doing more of these in the future for sure.

For the most part I was able to add in my own snow flakes, but for the big smudged flakes I used

brush pack that I downloaded from here: [link]

Tools: Photoshop CS5 and Wacom Intuos Tablet

Time: I spent quite a lot of time on this, so I sort of lost track after a while...

Photographer: The photographer is the astounding

. Here is a link to the original photo that he uploaded on Deviant Art [link] .

Model: The model is the lovely

. She has such a beautiful face, I knew I'd have to paint her once I saw the photograph, "It's A Kind Of Magic...Part 2" [link] .

I appreciate all critiques & tips. Thanks and I hope you all enjoy!
