Default Granny came to see us!!!!!
Finished this one this weekend. I'm not quite happy with the bust, I think it could be more detailed. What do you think?

Thumbs up Re: Granny came to see us!!!!!
Scott.....I LOVE the face....lots of character showing there and a great expression!......you could detail the front of the dress a little more if you wanted to...maybe some wrinkles or lines in there, but the face is great!

i think is enough detail, except the ears, they look not like ears, just disks...i like as is, more detail would wipe shapes away, i think

She has a lot of character, well done; I agree with Doris on the ears....
Her bust - I would not change it, more details there would probably take away attention from the face.
