I guess I am really breaking the rules with this one. The reference is really bad so I won't even post it. I know you are saying, "Haven't you learned not to use bad reference?", but this is more a memory than a piece of art.
This is one of my daughter's best friends, Kallie. These photos were taken the night of Gwen's "first formal". We all met at Kallie's house so her mom, who is the older woman, could see the kids dressed up.
She was buried today, it was all very sad. I think this was my therapy and would bring more joy to the family than flowers, even though it may have technical art problems.
I would like it to look as nice as possible, so if any one has any comments or suggestions, please bring them on.
This portrait is NOT finished some things have not been rendered at all.
Thanks!
