Still need to paint way more. But i’m pretty happy with a better understanding on hard/soft edges and adjusting values so everything doesn’t look like one big soft blurry image. Old pieces i retouched last year (the top image I’ve been using on my twitter for a while now) Bottom is a redraw from a piece from 2011. (I’d post the original if I could find it.It was PRETTY bad.)

Looking back at the first bust. Her head looks fuckng weird. I wanna give it another retouch sometime or do one of those yearly “re-draw this” challenge.

I really NEED to paint more.
