Description I really don't like painting humans - but I need to learn how they work, and what makes their skin look the way it does! And since I've never drawn myself, I figured that would be the perfect challenge. Besides, then there's no pressure on me if it doesn't look great.

Also, I needed a new ID. I love my Superior and all, but it's been two years.

She looks sleepy, which given your general terrible sleep schedule means that it is an excellent self-portrait. d:

Very nice, particularly the hair. The neck shading seems kinda weird, though.

Hahaha, you will be amazed! I have a pretty good schedule now. guess that comes with preparing for work!

Oh, yes, the neck. That one kind of went bust. I need to keep it in mind for next time when I do a portrait!

I don't see you doing many portraits of people. It's about time they got your special treatment!

We'll see. I'm not too keen on portraits, to be honest I just want to practice skin tones and the like!

Eh, that's fair. At least it's a new limit to be broken. And a reason to charge extra, commissions wise.

Hahha, If I raised my pricces again, I wonder if anyone would commission me still?

Well, maybe not raise the price so much as set a slightly higher rate for things outside your comfort zone?

Have you even looked at my current prices? they're generally high, but you have a point. We will see how it goes.

Well yeah, I have. Still, I've seen prices just as high from a lot of others.

The price level itself isn't much of a problem, it's the amount of commissions I get in XD;; it's very low, even with this price tag.

Thanks, Caroline! I've been shying away from portraits for some time, but I think I'm slowly overcoming my fear here. Thanks for commenting! 'u'
