Description Haven't posted in a while, and this is hardly earth shattering. I'm trying to learn to paint using fewer brush strokes.
I like her lips and features, but not too crazy about the hair.
I'll try and do more fast 20 minute tests like this...

You should give watercolor a shot, if you want to learn how to use less brush strokes, methink.
Otherwise, weird hair highlight aside, it's a pretty sweet portrait.

Already missed watching some new pieces of yours.
Guess you did a good job here. Eventhou the brush is pretty big, the pic has all the details it needs to give a good expression of the girl.

About the hair: I think it's simply the top of her head that looks weird. If I scroll down a little, so that I don't see it, the hair looks fine to me. Guess it's because it is much wider then her head should be. This way it looks like she got a wig that was too big.

Nevertheless, I like it.

Yeap, you hit it spot on, i was just thinking that as I looked at it again! That's what I'm hoping these quick pieces will reveal--exactly where i take illogical shortcuts, or which drawing habits harm the final image. much less painful to notice these things on short pieces
and you'll be happy to know that I have two pieces from holiday break that are at 75% and 90% and very close to release (working on one tonight). So keep your eyes peeled!
