Portrait of Ivy Grave

It was my Beautiful friends birthday during the week and I thought I would paint her something (herself). Here is the final result.

I learnt I need to be braver/bolder with my use of values, I think here I still didn’t make it dramatic enough. The face I need to practice face anatomy more, and that not everything in the picture needs to be refined perfectly.

I might post the process jpegs in a separate post, but for now here is the final version.
