Sprayed inside and out silver. Tried just painting with the blues it but it didnt look right. On to next idea.

Painted aluminum foil with white and metallic blue acrylic paint.

Crinkled the foil and glued it in. Then I sponged it with ice blue metallic and light blue with sparkles paint. Finally a coat of EnviroTex Lite.

Bonus craft time!

They are the crackled glass beads. I did the regular ectos last year http://fav.me/d32cia1 I was searching around last week and I found these http://www.vitabeads.com/photo%2011/20110922%2007.jpg which I think would make even better ectos.

Yay finally getting down to the last couple of weeks, so my hands are realizing this has to get done.

Color time.
Pay no attention to the fact that Gwen is looking vaguely off into the sky. That's why the black line is there down the middle, because when I move over to higher quality paper (as opposed to sketch paper), she's going to be moved down a bit, or they'll both shift a bit. Either way she'll be looking more at the present, which gives me the opportunity to paint in Dwayna's face rather than the back of her head. I also observed cartoon styling a bit more and realized that the eyes needed to change to a bit more round than almond. It's unrealistic, sure, but that's kind of a given anyways. Gwen's eyes are purposefully taller than they are wide.

What I finally decided on was that Dwayna would make a far better gift-giver than any of my alternatives. At this point I'm going to focus on polishing this image, rather than attempting a cartoonish Togo. I'm still working with a 10-year-old cheapo digital camera, but unfortunately that's all I've got until I borrow someone's.

For better results at drawing do those on an A3 paper or bigger,also use a quality paper(for Ex CANSON or something that is very smooth or with texture) cause there will be a difference in hatching.
Also insist on Gwen + the gift at hatching and if u like use water collours wich blends away from her and that would make a point of interested at your drawing.
Pay attention to Gwen eyes,cause there is much more there(they are big and nice and got some layers wich are hatched with different intensities~the first thing u see at her,is her head and eyes:P,so thats why they are important cause they are a focal point.

Btw i think it would be more interesting if Gwen will sit down in a yoga position and receive her gift ~gwen and her gift wich she received from Dwayna in the middle of paper as a center point of view. rushing and tearing her gift and around her pieces of the wrapped present floating around:P.And above Dwayna watching wich joy) at her,and on another corner Grenth being amazed of what Gwen just dit.
Anyway thats how i would do it haha.
