I do not mind using colors agressively
as long as the injuries remain on the canvas :plotting:

Brilliant job capturing the contrast, creating expression, and I LOVE the detail on the hat. I need to revisit the ref but i think you might have made the same prob wit the cheek that I did. Oh well. It's wonderfully executed. Nice work! :claps:

I don't mean to offend you; I can't help having opinions AND a big mouth.

I like long walks on the beach; carcasses of dead marine life fascinate me.

:hug: thankee! now were you referrng to her 'left' cheek???...cuz on the reference she actually has the envelope line really tight and close to her nose and lips, plus she's kinda leaning forward on the photo...then she's got the jacket sleeve running high and up so it narrows actually the real chin and jawbone..lol...I'm glad the detail on the hat turned out alright..it was a bit torturing..lol..but all for the sake of doodle! lol...gracias de nuevo ;) =D

thankee!!....hehe..u got that right..a lot of patience and sweat was needed..lol...fortunately we have a nice city broadwalk near the beach, so I spent there almost the entire sunday afternoon doodling through the hat...and to rest my eyes i was contemplating the ocean from my bench every now and then...plus it was fun to chit-chat with a few people that stopped by to see what i was doing..lol =P
