I am captivated by it as is, so I will pretend it is done, but I may find time to add something.
I was showing a group of retirees I teach on Thursdays what I do when I prep for a portrait, how I work from my photos and fix what is broken. I took simple head shots of them all and was showing them how to mark and understand hard and soft edges. The rendering was just to teach them to think in big shapes to small, and if THEY have to volunteer their own faces, I did the same.
40 minutes with cheap paper and cheaper paints, but I am very happy with the results.
