I promise, I ...Thank you so much for your comment!<br /><br />I promise, I have no intention of stopping, and I'm actually really happy with this painting; every time I point out things that are wrong, it's more bookkeeping than me actually getting down about the project.<br /><br />As for subject matter... I'm pulling from readily available models, whether that's myself or the things around me. Having friends sit as models is tempting, and I'm planning on asking, but a good portrait takes at least two hours, and not many people I know have the time/inclination to do that for me, haha. And in the end, this project is less to push my subject matter and more to get familiarity with a medium I was struggling with, so while expanding my range would be more fun, I don't think it'a a necessity. <br /><br />Again, thank you for the encouragement. It means a lot!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508782250245166709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952522388038721874.post-1739638205946695932011-07-05T13:30:46.674-04:002011-07-05T13:30:46.674-04:00Your work is actually VERY good, but I would sugge...Your work is actually VERY good, but I would suggest to work also on other subjects / models to help bring out what you MIGHT be stifling in rendering yourself alone. <br /><br />I understand the project. However, with the quality *I* see ... and what I understand about life drawing -- I implore you NOT to stop because your self portraits are not perfect. (If that is indeed your plan) <br /><br />Keep up the good work, I LOVE what I see!Brandie Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237847554076591950noreply@blogger.com
