I am très contente with this piece, but man, oh man, did it take me a long time because of all the mistakes I was making! I painted this in about 4 and a half hours... straight.
[The colour is a little off in the photo. Her skin is less purple and more brown, and same with the hand -- although the hand is actually purplish in the painting as well, just not that badly.]
But it turns out that I can draw people pretty decently. Excellent. This one's going into my portfolio, I think. We'll see what other masterpieces I can make.
I have to go back to this one and fix the knuckles (ugh, I can't do those!) as well as the fingernails (they must be darker/not yellow), so if anyone has any tips or tricks for knuckles or nails, let me know. I think I have a plan with the knuckles, but I can't figure out the fingernails.
I also bought eight more canvases -- my, oh my, I wish I had a job -- cause I figure if I do a whole bunch of paintings I can pick the best instead of just doing however many I need. You know what I mean?
All right. Enjoy.
