Untitled Practice 0314

Description

I've been REALLY trying hard to perfect some of my skills in painting faces. Specifically softer female forms. This is painted using a hexagonal brush, with some post processing to increase the colours and levels and some smoothing to even out the brush strokes on the cheeks and forehead. I think it's probably a total of around 2 hours here and there. I tend to paint like a maniac and this was no exception.

Haven't quite perfected it yet (obviously), the eye's a still a bit flat as are the lips. But it's a huge improvement on previous attempts ;)

Watcha think? Improving? Yes, i know, I should fix the colour, and the cropping. But hey, this is a practice, not a full on composition exercise :P
