Default WIP Daughters portrait
Ok guys, had a little time to work on it some more. Took everything way back, got the eyes started, I may finish them today. I'm not happy with the nose, made it a little thin I'm still not certain about what to do with the background I may go in just below the dress line and make it look like a bust. All and all I think it will look like her enough to recognize and she is 9yrs. older than the picture.Thanks for looking if anyone is still following this, comments always welcome either way.

Your portrait looks really nice, Feb, far better than anything I would try. Faces in general and female faces in particular have me stymied. Looking forward to see further developments on this one!

Thanks for posting.

Al

She's coming along beautifully. I agree with Al, female faces are very difficult and you're doing a great job
