Detail




I think the changes suggested lead to a more lifelike appearance. Also the "pure color" reflection under the chin and nose, taken from Karin Wells' demo, are helpful. The reflection under the chin results in a "lost and found" edge situation where the transmitted light through the hair emerges from behind the chin. This breaks up what I thought was too harsh a transition in previous versions. I may not have carried the warming of the shadows far enough. One thing that bothers me is that brush strokes are not easy to see, even at this magnification, making the sketch look constipated rather than painterly. Is "constipainting" a legitimate term?
