Matthew From a mirror cause its harder that way and I can play around with lighting more. The ones without the glasses are from a photo cause i wanted to actually see my eyes :/ the struggles of wearing glasses haha
Fedo Yeah man I had bog problems with this one traditional was really hard for me. I am so used to adjusting in photoshop. Stupid shortcuts and thank you for pointing this things out <3
good simplification, i think the shoulders are too high up, and the way the right side of the hood kinda tangents with the canvas makes it feel cramped. Remember the neck has a really low and graceful rythm, it's tough to master, keep postin!!
You're getting to know your face "like the back of your hand," as they say. Nice work painting those from life!

the problem here is symmetry; and that's why the riley method is helpful because it helps you see those invisible grids to align the features. But dont let me preach :)
Always remember that lips end will align with the center of the eye, and watch that neck! The skew is a curse, take it from me!!
Fedo yeah idk what i was doing there. I think i just did this one just to do it with no thought behind it :/
Today i tried out some different colors. I wanna do something with each one from now on and focus on a certain thing while doing it and not just numbly copying my face
