Hello!
This is a six-year-old Turkish girl, the daughter of the owner of a Turkish shop. Not a really commission! (What a lucky boy I am.
)
Unfortunately I made took no picture of the underpainting -- to compensate, I had must do this over again and again ... as punishment.
I've had really big problems with the likeness. I'm not happy with it. I've best rendered the hair and the right side of face. Another problem is the eyes, I can't integrate them into the face! Makes me crazy. But I see a little brushwork and technique improvement.
But Sharon said the whole truth to me:
"Your artistic underpinnings need to be strengthened first. You need to make simple black and white drawing of objects, figures, then drapery, before you attempt anything in color. All of these have to be done from life, not photos.
Once you master the basics you will find you can add techniques and your attempts will be far more successful and less frustrating. This will take time. There are no shortcuts."
EDITING:
Excuse me, I was a VIP (very inattentive person)!
I lent my camera to my boss (an other technic-genius), and the white balance had a totally wrong setting.Now I post the last 2 pictures.Colors are better now. Sorry for my crazy-head!
