    Rusty Painter. I'm struggling.

    It's been a long long while since I tried a portrait.

    Looks like you're triangulating in on her face. Looks good. Very Renaissance with the grid, which has to be a great training for matching color and so forth.

    It may have been a while but it looks like you're doing great. Incidentally, did you know you can import a tracing image if that's something that suits you.

    Keep going! And welcome back to the forums!!!!

    Master D Akey!

    Thanks for the welcome back.

    Its been a hard year, personally and work wise.

    I know there's a tracing thing but I'm trying to
    observe placement and draw.


    Still working on it

    Cheers

    You've done a wonderful job with the skin tone, shadows, and highlights so far! This most recent update, the teeth look very very grey, but obviously you were working in that area so I imagine that is a base layer for the teeth so far. Keep up the great progress!

    Looking good!
    June.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.
