Today I decided I would try My luck at painting, Its fun, and when I finished I thought to my self: Not bad. However I am currently Inclined to think its quite bad as comments ranged from "Your not a great painter yet but you will be if you keep at it" and "she looks sad". Now both of these are compleatly true statements and are very helpfull to me if not my ego, but I still think, was it realy that bad? I mean, I know I messed up the left eye and the face is demented, but it was my first real go at a painted portrat, and I didn't to any planning, I just started painting. I personaly think my use of color for the face is pretty good here.
Ether way, paintings fun. I love not having to draw hair. Did I mention how much I hate drawing hair in blue ballpoint pen? It makes the page curl for some reason and it never looks very good, because if your doing long hair all the lined have to be contour looking. However with acrylic hair is a BREEZE!
So there you have it, I think I will try painting more often to see if I can do better next time.
Hey, do you think it would look better if I gave her an eyepach on the left eye?
Just saying
