You use makeup for this paintings?? that's weird
I think this is good, but it's a bit blurred though, the contrast of shadow is a bit too high
perhaps brighten it a bit

Overachiever22 In reply to h4nd [2005-11-28 18:11:41 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I agree. It looks a bit brighter in real life, the photo of it is kind of dark.

great comment!

I don't think I have EVER come across a more original mix of mixed media on DA!

The results speek for themselves, I think. She looks very concentrated, and a little sad.

I love the cool color scheme and as much stuff as you have apparently used, would love to see it in person and get to see the gritty textures

Beautiful work. The contours of the face are so realistic. . . I love the shading of the hair as well. It has such a great, natural shine to it. What really stands out are the eyelashes! They're perfect.
