First painting 2024 WIP

It’s been a long time since I painted anything and when I did, it was a work in progress that never got completed. I run out of steam very quickly these days. Still, here is my latest attempt. I hope to make the theme more exciting with embellishments after I have finished the figure.

I might have my first commission. I showed this to our head cook and explained that it isn’t finished yet. He was impressed and offered to pay me to paint up one of his role-playing characters. :smiley:

This is really nice, I like the bounce light on the nose and chin. You might want to break up the symmetry in her hair.

I am working with the symmetry tool for now but before I add the final details I will remove the symmetry tool and create asymmetry in the whole figure. In the early stages of painting, my noses seem to be the focus of the image and I have to work on adjusting everything else. It is because I used to practice them a lot because I found them difficult. Now I find them one of the easiest shapes to create.

I turned off symmetry and I have created some folds in her tunic, added gloss to her eyes and improved her lips.

Made the face less symmetrical, added seam detail to the tunic and worked on the hair.
