before and after pics of my portrait--will update with a better final picture.
I struggled a lot with this--it was mentally and emotionally taxing -_- I kept on erasing the face because the colors wouldn't be right or the nose was too far to the left or something like that....
I was far too focused on one area and stressed out about it ~I forgot there were other components that needed to be painted. I turned to my friends for their advice which was really useful--and I appreciate it a lot.
the crit was to be mindful of my edges, some of them are too harsh like the line dividing her bangs from her forehead. Light the outer right edge of the hair. Fix the highlight on the left side of her head. Crop wasn't convincing enough, zoom out a little more so that the bunny ears are fully visible and the figure smaller.
I was thinking of painting a couple more flowers. Her shirt really bothers me-- there should be more highlights there and perhaps redoing the shadow on her cheeks, underneath her eyes.
oil isn't my strongest suit but I really tried my best on this--I'm never sure whether the painting's good or bad especially after staring at it for more than 10 hours.
EDIT-- so here' s a better picture of my portrait--;_; i didn't fix anything haha mainly so the model can see it ~ not sure if you'll enjoy my portrayal of you- the idea was to make it look more 'cartoony' than realistic
