Supercoppa Italina, 2007.
The metal in the trophy presented a challenge to recreate, with the reflections and lighting/shades being tricky to make look realistic by using just the pen tool. By focusing on the shine, I think it worked out well for the first attempt.
Additionally, I really wanted to focus on the details on his hair, face, and jersey to give realistic shades and depth.

The test here came with the long hair and white fabric on Totti, both having a lot of details to capture. The emotion from De Rossi was another key one to recreate since that was following his go-ahead goal in the Supercoppa Italiana.
