There was this poster I saw in a watch store within mall, and I was had by its composition of images. And I spent around thirty to forty five minutes only to observe that poster the moment I took a glance of it. It was just somehow so too good to abandon that I eventually snapped a photo of it, and another reason was probably the girl smiling faintly, like how this drawing is. The smile was really kind of something, giving this sensation of calmness. Unlike how girls tend to smile exaggeratedly, showing teeth and all, this smile is more than enough although it doesn't seem so happy. At least, the point is she doesn't force herself to smile openly. Smiling calmly is enough, and I like it.
As much as I love the cute smile, I used the taken photo as a reference to draw. It went smoothly than expected, or perhaps a little rougher than before. Maybe because I have oft drawn many times? Though, it's hard to draw exactly like the photo. I tried photorealism, which isn't really my interest from the beginning, but I think I need to do this because I should stray away from comfort zone once in a while. Despite mistakes such as miscalculation of proportion and value, I'm still happy with this result. I know I repeat this over and over, but please let me say it again,
I..... still.... must.... practice.....MORE!!!..... on anime style, of course.
Then when I know the title goes by 'Solvil Et Titus Time is Love', I went searching the source on google and found this.

It seems it's a poster accommodating an advertisement to introduce its product. Much less of that I would wish to know however. Not even the name of this girl is told, so yah. But I'd still love to use this as my Profile Picture. :3
Nevertheless, that was a nice commercial, in my personal opinion. Even if it's only a commercial whose time is no more than one minute thirty seconds, it was directed nicely and the message was conveyed in a smooth way. It's pretty simple, but the directing gives what is worth it.
By the way, in case someone wonders, I didn't trace the photo. I drew her from observation and completely started from scratch.
