I love this book so much. And even though she's not even Japanese, Zhang Ziyi did an admirable job playing Sayuri/Chiyo. I still totally prefer the book though
This painting is not really meant to be super-realistic, so please don't look at it that way. I hope you enjoy it! I had a ton of fun painting it
If you would like to see a few close-ups at about half the original resolution, they are in my sharables

I used a reference for this painting and it can be found

Holy crap, this is just awesome. I really love the way that you've shaded her skin. The entire composition of her just looks really good. I think that realism is your strong point of all of the pieces that you submit. Keep up the excellent art!
