The creation of this piece began with the basic concept of Sketch>Base>Render. 

Here are the color palettes that I used during the process. After finalizing her skin eveything began to fall into place.

Final Output:

Cleopatra VII Philopator was the last known active pharoah of Egypt. She may have followed the old Egyptian traditions but ended up as a sole ruler. Up to this day her legacy continues to live on which is considered as a remarkable feature from her.

 

This is my version of Cleopatra inspire by Elizabath Taylor. I changed the color of her skin tone and played with the colors. I love how the hues it blended with the dark lip as well as the detailed hairdo. I wanted to make sure that the beauty in her face stood out base on how I perceived her to be.

Here is the edited layout I did to fit in my portfolio.

 

Hope that you took delight in my work! :D More to come soon!
