Aphrodite - with color

Do I ever get to bed at a normal hour? I guess not.

I felt like coloring tonight. Yay! I used the character sketch for Aphrodite from "Olympus Inn" as a subject for my smudge tool extravaganza. I don't really know exactly what I'm doing while coloring in Photoshop... but since it doesn't trigger a gag reflex or anything, so I guess it didn't turn out too bad. I tried doing this one in a completely different way than when I painted Ariel. It worked okkay, but I just couldn't figure out how to get a blush on her cheeks. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Oh! And the pattern for her little kimono number came from a piece of origami paper I stole from my brother.
