Officially done with this piece 😅 I’m actually finally got sick of looking at it…
Nothing is ever finished tbh, only abandoned at interesting times 😜. Every piece is like an exercise of building on what works well, realizing what still needs work (but discovered too late and unsalvageable 😅)

Painting learning be like
Lvl 1: warm light, cool shadow; cool light, warm shadow!
Lvl99: warm shadow, cool midtone, warm light, cool highlights
Lvl99+: well actually…
Day 10 and it’s a wrap 🥳
Our instructor complimented me on the one eyeball so that’s a win 🥰
Great teachers, the class was a mixed bag tho. Some lovely ppl and some just reminds me why i hate ppl 😛 sure no man is an island, but let me be a peninsula?
