WildWood

Same vibe as the previous submission but after I did that I was somewhat frustrated by the grain in the image that was making it hard for me to get a good smooth finish to the face. It all seemed like an uphill struggle to get complete, so I ditched it and started on this version where I knew I wanted to  practice a much much smoother "less is more" approach to the face construction. I'm determined to get faces, specifically female faces, right. I'm so used to stuffing a lot of texture and detail into my images that smooth features are actually quite a challenge - you can't hide behind anything. I'm not sure this is necessarily nailing that concept, but this is a 100% improvement in previous efforts (imo obviously).

Again this has been hanging around my drive for a while, posting to get it out and into the wild.
