Hi, Chris and everyone.
Hey, speaking as one who has major trouble doing portraits and
major-major trouble doing kids, I extend my congratulations on a really
good painting. Your attention to detail while ignoring background
distractions is most appealing- and the kid surely looks ready to roll.
My only suggestion is that, to me, the chin is a bit too dark so that on
my monitor, it looks a bit like she has a five-o'clock shadow- most
unlikely given the age and sex of the subject. I would lighten that a
bit even if there is dark in the reference photo... and if you based
this on drawing and painting from life rather than a photo reference,
please accept my abject apologies.
cheers
pat- who had a wee bit of snow last nite.
