Artist's Comments

Needs a real title.

From this as a reference, but it doesn't have a likeness at all. Pf. And the scanner ruined the colors (again), & could not rectify them in Photoshop at all.

Heheh, yeah... kind of random, actually. ;;; I just felt like doing it out of nowhere, so i gessoed a page in my sketchbook & did that.

Ahh, so this is the one you were talking about, with the oil on paper problem! It came out very nice, though. There's a kind of soft, blurred quality to it, that coupled with the color scheme makes it seem like she's washing away.

even if it's just for the day.

Even though it doesn't look exactly like the reference, I like it a lot because it's in your own style. I prefer it in your style.

Great use of oil paints, the shading's come out really nice, especially in the hollows of her eyes.

Nice! The color's gets a little muddy - you could bring out a few more lights and a little bit of a true red - and the nose is a little large (though that might be intentional, idk) but you really captured the expression and I like the washy background.

I seem to have issues with keeping my colors from getting muddied. :\ And the nose; eurgh, yeah. I think i'm just going to leave it all as-is, though, because waiting for something in a sketchbook to dry is annoying.
