Oh yeah. This has a soul. Peering through each other’s windows. I like the accents and details. Great job.

Great. This looks really good. Eyes and lips are amazing.

Just a suggestion, looks like the eyebrows can be improved. Also the freckles feeld kind of patches, and weirdly uniform. May be brush size variation will help with eyebrows?

Again I don’t mean to say negative things. I am just sharing what I felt.

I love the details on the lips and eyes. Very nice work

Thank you, I’m happy with them too. The little details to make them look realistic I don’t think before painting I ever noticed. The little light but at the top of lips, the inside rim of eye lids, etc.

I’m nearing 50 and feel like until I started trying to be a better artist I’ve never really seen a face before.

Having the artist eye is a really nice skill to have, I found it adds beauty to everyday life. The way a cloud shape blends into the blue sky, the way a person’s hair flows in the wind as they walk, how a dew covered leaf glimmers in the sun. It adds a layer of happiness to a dreary world.

Totally agree!

Realistic and painterly. Very nice mix.

Thank you!

The photo had these things called pores. Very hard to paint so I skipped.
