working on photo reference.




I know it's not so artistic, but sometime little girls don't want to pose , and you have to do it.

Hi Adriano,

I really like what you've done so far. Nice rendering!
You've put this in the critique section, but the only thing I'd suggest is to tone down the orange and blue stripes in the background - they're interesting, but in my opinion, detract from the young lady's face.

You've successfully made it NOT look like it was done from a photo reference--at least as far as I can tell. Well done.

In my opinion you have done a great job on the most difficult aspect of a portrait capturing her unique spirit.

Besides what has been said, some blue shadows seem to me way to saturated (like on the ear) and the values between the end of the nose and the chin could be improved as they don

With such a fine "end" there should be no judging of the "means".

Bravo,
Dave
