Thank you so much Agnelica for taking the time to write this and thanks for all the nice things you had to say about the pic. I think you are right about the need for some more dark values in some places. I will have another look at it and see what I can do later on. I don't want my paintings to look 'to' perfect. I want to hint that it is done by hand and not a 3d rendering or a photo manip.

Whoa man, I don't even know what to say this time around. I'm not sure of whether or not you used a sketch for this piece, but I think you captured all of the important elements in your painting.
I say this for a reason, because I noticed that you skipped things like the fly-a-way hairs on her face. Wise move my friend, because I've seen many artists try to grab all the details and mess up what could've been a nice picture. Sometimes less is more e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
There really isn't much I an say about this, because I think you did everything perfectly :0. Not to mention this was a study, so I hope you learned something useful while doing this.
The only thing I think I should mention though, is the background. Looking at the reference picture, I wonder if maybe a soft gradient going from the top left corner to the bottom right one would've been better? I say this, because I find that with the background you chose, the tree branch from the reference photo looks a little distracting. And as a small nit-pick, if you look at the models hair, you can notice a little un-evenness on the right side of the background. Although I think a quick brush stroke could easily fix that e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Anyway, great picture, and thanks again for the critique practice!

This face is lovely. It doesn't look digital at all. It look like you've done it in acrylics.
