Darkiste: youre right, my image needed more contrast; but that is not always the case on all images. This is aimed at being a splash art kinda image and those need high contrast, whereas notan heavy or impressionist styles thrive more with less contrast. Thanks for the writeup :)
Nigel: thats a great observation! I overhauled the face today since my buddy said the face in the black in white was much better, he said "It is the difference between a woman in ovulation and no in ovulation." So i spent a few hours trying to match the likeness of the face in the BNW. its all about like making the cheeks round, making the brow confident, fixing the hairline, making the mouth into an attractive expression, super duper subtle. But yea, im still finishing it up so any more crits are welcome no matter how nitpicky, i wanna put a great image out for once!
Life drawing was fun today, a good break from the pic, was trying out like some pastel chalks and vine charcoal, which is super duper soft. Then another 8 ish hours on the image just loving on the forms and cleaning up everything, pppppheww cant wait to get back to studying!
