Femme Fatale

Although the title is kinda fateful, I actually got the idea for this illustration when my own bangs started to be way too long and annoying to my eyes. I love bangs, but I hate it how fast they grow. Still, I think long bangs would look really great, but yeah… It’s not the most practical hairstyle.

I wanted to bring some kind of a “retro” feeling to the illustration with the colors. That’s why I used so much red in it and different kind of strong color effects. The divided background brings a nice edge to the illustration. Also, Liquify is my new favorite tool in Photoshop. The left part of the hair was edited with it.
