really nice work! i must say i especially like the hair, i think its a perfect mix of your own interpretation and the shapes and figures it has on the photos, i do also understand tough that you would consider repaint it if it does not fit your imagination. When we create things I guess ourselfs we judge the work the most. Nevertheless I would be very curious to see how the painting looks at the end!:)
Wow. Thanks for your kind words and for sharing your perspective. Hearing that you especially liked the hair makes me feel a bit better about it. I thought that perhaps i had taken too much liberty and strayed a bit too far away from what made the hair beautiful to begin with. So, thanks for your encouragement. I am my own worst critic. I will definitely finish this one and we will see how it ends up. I still may try again in the future to get the vision i have rendered more closely to what i see in my mind. Thanks again for the thoughtful comment! Cheers
i am glad you got some encouragement:) and i hope you enjoy the further process!!
