My ode to summertime :) I've been wanting to do this picture for a long time, and I finally found a great piece of stock photography. This is actually the first of a series of four that I want to do. Nothing says summer like delicious citrus fruits. Coming next : Lemon, Orange, and Lime :D

Also, this coloring style was inspired by the fantastic :iconmechanicalpumpkin: they inspired me to try a new coloring style, hope you all like!

yeah it is, I used a texture to get the vintage look, though I did it in Illustrator as well

I'll tell you, these type of portraits aren't very complicated to do, at least technically, so if you're new in illustrator it won't be too hard to master them, the only tricky part I find is deciding what details to leave in and what to not use. Hope you have fun with illustrator!!

I like the overall shape of this girl's face and the warm colors.
It seems real and pops out at you.
