This Painting is a Spawn of My 12 Days of Sketch challenge on Instagram, Were at the time i made a commitment to myself to do a digital drawing a day for a period of 12 days.
The sketch of Kristia Tolode wasn't originally a part of the 12 but one i did in addition to them. Initially i had decided to let Anakhuagbor "Nak" Sule paint it just to see how my lines would look when someone else painted it, but alas he didn't so i finally did myself and it became one of my favorite paintings.
