This painting came out beautifully. The way the light falls on the subject looks flawless, and overall, this is quite the work of art.

At least, I believe so.

Wow, this is a truly beautiful picture! The lighting is really effective. Did you use a model?

Thanks!
Yeah, I did the posing (with a lamp at my forehead). It's easy to model with the light and pose this way. Besides I don't have to worry about getting
a model - a mirror is all I need.
The downside is that all the pictures end up looking more or less like me, even if self-portrait is not the goal

Everything what you learn comes handy in your life

Very nice picture.. But it's from a view of a guy who cant draw, some1 who can, should comment you

Well, I treasure all the comments, one doesn't have to be an artist to understand a painting.
Often these reactions are the best

Ohh, nice painting! Good choice of colors and nice expression. Something I would hang on my wall too.
I haven't painted anything for sooo long, something I'd love to do though.

How long did this one take?

ayle In reply to Maarika [2005-09-07 17:52:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Uhm... I can't tell you the exact time. The figure took couple of nights,
the rest I painted and re-painted throughout the whole week, when I had the mood.
