I did this digital painting as a gift for a friend of mine. He likes both Tara Reid and Julia Stiles, but I only had time to paint one of them, so I compromised. I am not necessarily a fan of either woman, although Julia Stiles and I do share a birthday. It was a fun little exercise in portraiture, color and brushwork. I feel the facial likeness could be better (I didn’t paint straight from any single photo, trying to combine elements of a bunch), but I’m pretty happy with how Reid’s body came out.
