Same old problem




Sorry that I have not been participating much. There are allot of good threads happening here lately and some good painting. But, thanks be to God, I have been very busy with commissions! This is number 3 of the 3 in process (it seems easier for me to keep a couple going at the same time so that my approach is fresh and I have a week or two to study my next move)

Anyways, I am running into the problem of shine from the darker graphite (5B), her hair is black. This is early on, there is allot of modeling yet to happen on the hair, but before I go further, does anyone have any suggestions? Should I keep going and trust that the fixative will get rid of the shine when I am finished?

This was a terrible reference photo, she has crooked teeth that I wanted to de-emphasize and I think the finger needs some adjusting. Of course any suggestions would be appreciated. Next commission customer agreed to let me take reference photos - a six year old doll. I can't wait!

There is some glare on this pic and I apologize, but the morning light was weak and I wanted to get this posted today.

Thank you very much for your help

Patty
