Description
So much for not doing "pretty girls" anymoreThe thing is, I've realized I like my pictures a lot better when I start sketching them. But then I keep "polishing" the images to give them a more finished look and that's when I screw them up. So I decided to try focusing in only some areas and leave the rest "undone". So far I like the result, it looks more expressive.
So that's it, oil on board, 20X30 cm.
Thanks for taking a look

I wholeheartedly agree that sometimes the finishing process destroys a picture. This is simply lovely, and wonderfully organic. I am so glad that =OpiateTart featured one of your other paintings so I could find this one! It's like a WIP, tutorial and finished piece all wrapped up together. Phenomenal work!

love the way the colour purple come along with the old paper
you choose well to stop working at it ,it has more personality
it's like the beauty is imperfection

Nice job on this!~ the drips really make it seem as if the paint is in motion and this is just a freeze frame of its journey~
Loving the concept

I think that my drawings end up looking pretty polished, and then I go, "But oh, it needs a little somithin'!"
And then I add a little somethin', and then I go "HOLY CRAP, that is NOT the somethin' this picture needed!!!"

El color y la expresion del personaje son sublimes, la paleta limitada en contraste con el color de la hoja suma mucho. Me gustan mucho estos experimentos bocetiles/pintados que hicistes.

I hope you don't complete it because its PERFECT the way it is. Bold, sensual. It's like (as I'm sure alot of people have told you) it's leaving a message of whats under it all.

Te entiendo! A mΓ algunos de mis dibujos hasta me llegan a gustar un poquito cuando los estoy empezando xD Con todas esas lΓneas cruzandose a lo loco..Pero cuando lo estoy terminando sΓ³lo pienso que cometΓ un grave error xD
Y tu trabajo es precioso

Ay si, y es tan frustrante! Uno sabe que una vez que diΓ³ esas pinceladas de mas ya no hay vuelta atrΓ‘s
Asi que ahora ya sabΓ©s, tu prΓ³ximo trabajo dejalo "sin terminar" y va a quedar genial!
Muchas gracias
