Description

Thanks to the patience of a friend of mine I finally got the chance to paint a real person.

Started at about 9 pm and finally got out of her bed at about 2 am. Next day I gave it another try on my own as it looked very weird and mentally added a second light source to fix some contrast issues, made her smile and such stuff.

Was worth the experience. Reality -again- gave me a hard punch right in my face.

Thanks for replying that fast! :) very appreciated!

I only can second you opinion about the 2nd one..it really looks like
..wax or sth.Dead wax ( ok, there's no living one either XD) , like a robot whom I put a mask on its face.

The first one does look the most natural one to me, too, but it seemed she didn't like it because
the sketch turned out to be more grim than she actually looked like when watching her series.
So I decided to change it, repainted her own left eye which was too small etc....but it keeps looking dead.
STill wondering how I could fix that...

But thanks again for your opinion! helped me to gain some distance to the piece :)
