You are kinda embarrassing yourself and clearly you are not nor ever been an art student

This is not plagiarism and you are not in English literature specialstupid
 Quoting: Dame


You know, it would certainly be nice if you explained yourself after making such an out of line and odd comment.
In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

“Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.”

– Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project


Normalize every aberrant behavior, bring common all deviancy and let fly the reins of morality and reason, then welcome in that utopia that liberals embrace called communism, that which most Americans with but a shard of ethic would immediately recognize as evil.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82816308


Yeah the nose is fucked, I'm actually working on that right now... seems to be the main critique... and rightfully so.
 Quoting: BFD


I understand people wanting her nose "fixed" but it really doesn't. It's beautiful and I like that it's not the normal "beauty".
 Quoting: Gami


This is how it works big baby. There is constructive criticism. Sometimes as an artist, you stare so long at a image, that your perception could be off. He needs advice.

Nose mimicked an MMA fighter that just lost a fight but more importantly her opponent a swollen nose.

That is what happened to Opies painting, but you know what, He FIXED IT.

GOOD job opie, now fix her crooked ass smile.

Thanks for the input.

There's one in the picture-right eye but the way her eyelashes shadow her picture-left eyeball... there isn't much of one.

But, that said, I could just add it to the left one anyways so they match.

I'll keep it in mind.

Here's the palette.

Right to left, it's titanium white, yellow ochre, light red, burnt sienna, ivory black... then a little walnut oil gel and sun thickened linseed oil.

Probably the last update before I start painting the color form pass.

Since the last update I've been working on the mouth and tightening up little things all over in general.

Input welcome as always so if you see something, feel free to speak up.

I have always enjoyed your threads about your paintings. I love watching the progression.

I know you say it's not a gift and I'm not discounting all your hard work to learn, but take my word for it. It's a gift! I can't do this and I only know a very few personally that can.

Can't wait to see her finished, in all her glory! Thanks for another fun thread!
