Divine Grace

I used a very popular picture of Maggie Grace as reference, after I really started to like her in the movie LOCKOUT, where she is playing alongside Guy Pearce.
Unfortunatelly I'm suffering from a lack of similarity. Anyway I like the way she turned out. And you cannot deny a certain similarity to Cobie Smulders, the actress of Robin Scherbatzky from HIMYM ... I restarted watching season one recently

My first pic, on which I excessively used airbrush.

Also have a look at my other pictures, if you like:

EDIT: It's been I while now, since I noticed the dirty and pale look of this picture that originates in the fact, that I've drawn this pic on a very old screen, where I hat apparently color and brightness issues. Now I replaced the pic with a more healthy looking version
