This is good - well done. I like the atmsophere and the eyes.

This has a lot going for it..expression is something that is a gift..you got it, girl!
:iconchichi-lingling:
thanks! I do so many self portraits, I'm not sure I could capture so much expression in someone else.

Hi, I've been told by a great teacher that I have a knack for getting good expression and that it is something that cannot be taught... lately, I've been noticing that what I'll do is paint lips until they have the expression I want..ie: if there is a snarl on the lips, I keep painting into it until it changes into something I like...with the eyes it's similar..if they aren't looking at me with a nice expression, I keep painting into them until they are...the actual expression on the model is not important to me as I can usually get a better and suprising one by just painting into the features of my painting...I hope this makes sense to read.
:iconchichi-lingling:
Yeah that totally makes sense. You can't really have a model hold an expression for hours, so you can just work it into the painting. That really makes sense because just changing things slightly, especially eyebrows can change the entire expression dramatically. thanks for the tip.
