The fine art of portraits and figures...
I'm currently working in charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. This blog is updated regularly with works in progress, and general updates relating to my art work. On occasion I will post articles about art history or other art related topics and a few pieces of my photography.

Dress Dilemma
I'm a bit worried about how the dress is looking, I'm worried that the pattern is not connecting as one piece of fabric and I'm worried that I'm getting dark too quickly. I'm taking a step back and I'll work on it more later after I calm down a bit about it.

Hi Jessica,
Well, I'd be happy if I were abble to paint portraits this well.
Even if I don't know the girl, I could almost bet that you're making her older than she really is...
Just a feeling based on some experience....:-)
Kind regards,
José

Thank you for the compliment and feedback. Though I'm wondering how old you think that I'm making her look? I honestly thought I was close to the reference photo. Of course a little outside perspective will sometimes help us see a little clearer. Also what is it that is making her look older?
Thank you again for your feedback : )
Jessica
