Before After

The reason why I redrew it is because I joined contest!

The reason why I chose this drawing to redo was, that it had a great personal value for me. I had a lot of personal problems back then plus I got sick of the style I had. And so came out my first approach at digital painting. Which was hard, but really refreshing and which brought me the fun in drawing back^^
So now, again not feeling all too well (winter is just not my time) so I thought that it would be fun to redraw this one. But now I wanted to improve overall and especially the style I was sick of last year (lol)

I think the composition overall is a lot better now. I went with the same thought in mind on drawing this one "beauty is painfull", but wanted to make that message clearer. 
Since I added more roses, I had to change the colour of the shirt to create a more interesting contrast. 
Then the shading got a lot smoother, also there are a lot more details.
