Description
First thing I've ever painted with acrylics, so it's quite experiment-y.Too big to scan so it's the lovely phone camera for this one.
EDIT: Slightly better quality, new border, blah di blah.

Nice brush strokes. They're rough but totally pull the image out. Her expression is so peacful!
Hope you'll do more acrylic experiments. ^^

This is a sweet, sensitive portrait. I could get lost in her eyes - magnetic. The brushwork is wonderful and says just what I want to hear.

I like this one. I like that the shadows in her face are rather dark. People often seem seem freightened to use dark shadows. I know I am.
But I have to say that the bad quality sort of ruins it ^^

What I really need is a massive scanner, eh.

I think this turned out wonderfully, I love it! The expression on her face looks great, emotion is really coming from it. You did an awesome job with this!

Being a slave for rough textures and dark colours, this caught me like a Venus flytrap and popped my eyes out. Youβre great with acrylics; the expression, colouring and texturing looks splendid; I especially like the high-lights on her chin and chest.
Great work!

I can't paint people in acrylic for the life of me. But this... is awesome!

I really love this! It's so dreamy and far away, almost like tiny pieces of it are being taken away right in front of me as I look at it. There's a sadness to the image, but in a good way.
p.s.
not a bad shot at all considering it's a phone camera! I can't imagine what it must look like in real life. Cameras almost never do justice to art like this.

Thank youu. I've decided what I really need is a massive scanner. I have to work in A4 at the moment to achieve any kind of clarity, hah.

This is stunning, though I just wish it was better quality :/

Aw, thanks. I know, I might have to cut it down so it fits in the scanner.

I wish I did, I might invest in a new camera for myself at some point though. And it was a pretty good comment anyway!

I see you like to experiment on different art mediums, which is a good thing. You also appear talented in all of them, which is a better thing
Because of her hair, the girl reminds me of Anne Frank 
Since it is a bit small, I can't see the details very well, but I think what could be improved in this painting is the chin area, where it meets the hair, and also the part of the face which is hidden by the hair. I have the feeling the face presents in an odd shape because of this
Great first try!

Thanks! I agree with you, I think her face is too round. Something for me to think about next time.
