Hellooo all!!!

This is Fiona Apple. She's one of my favorite artists of all time. From the moment she first came out with the single "criminal", I was hooked. It's been ages since I heard her music for the first time, but it never seems to get old. She's an artist I truly admire, not just because her music is amazing, but she's also strong, intelligent, talented and so much more.

I named this piece 'Mona Lisa Smile" because when I was done, she seemed to have this slight smirk on her face. I looked back at the original and it wasn't there! Some how even though I used her as a reference, the piece had morphed and transformed into something close, but yet entirely different.

This vexel is a little different than what I usually do. I am slowly trying to break away from realism and break into this mysterious art form called line art. There's more of it in this vexel than anything i've ever done before, and I hope to use even more in future pieces. I know the hair looks shiny, I actually prefered it that way compared to the other ways I tried.

So it's simple compared to a lot of the stuff I've done in the past, But I wanted to try something new while still staying true to the style that I love so.

I hope you enjoy, thanks for viewing. Feel free to take a look at the original which is right here:
