Illustration graphic design project

My favorite part of the year in graphics is when we do digital painting or anything drawing related (We did it first quarter in graphics II). In Senior graphics, we have to do a digital painting and we had to choose from several classical styles. Of course, I chose the closest to my style which is romanticism. As far as I can tell, its just a stylized realism.

I really like how my rough sketch is coming out so far. Didn't take me long to come up with an idea. Gonna start the actual sketch tomorrow. Couldn't do it today 'cause I didn't have any nice paper with me D;

Not gonna be classical romanticism. I hope she lets me get away with something a bit modern. I'm thinking of actually using this as the cover of one of my comics when I get through with it and model all the other covers off this (Person in center with detailed background and a color theme)
