Stevemawmv's Gallery (Shared Reflections.....)

Nice one Steve. It's really very cool, although the eyebrows are a little solid and the structure around the eyes is not pushing and pulling the direction of the form quite accurately. But the overall is quite nice. I can see why you picked it.

If you're interested, I always found that pictures with more dramatically defined light and shadow showed the form off in such a way as to be easy to see the structure and this paint it.

Anyway, she looks like she wants to be kissed and that makes it a first rate picture in my book. Nothing lukewarm about it. Go man go!

Hello Jean....
A little experiment, glad you liked it.
Thanks!

D Akey....
Eyebrows....still trying to figure out how to paint them things! Thanks for the tip, looking for a subject with
a challenging shadow cast across the face....be a good practice!
I' am happy you like it!
Thanks!

my pleasure to visit your thread. thanks for looking at my ar gallery also. Looks like I used to be pretty active around 2009 to 2012. I still dabble a bit with ArtRage now and then and have never stopped appreciating it or being amazed by the genius of the software.

Started out as a sketch, then started trying a comic style and ended up finishing it kinda in my style.
It's rough and unfinished, got tired doing it...looking for a new model!
It's not going to hang on a wall, not going to tweek it or come back to finish it.... It was just for fun!
Just a rainy Saturday afternoon picture..
