Description Why so silent good Monsieurs,
Did you think that I had left you for good?

All right! This is as done as I'm gonna get, other than some minor tweaking now that I see in the teeny little thumbnail the bits that should be altered. (Ex, ear, hair, eyes.)
I'll also take a picture in some natural light tomorrow and upload it, desk lamp makes the colors weird.
This is my foray into acrylics, and oh boy do I have a lot to learn. I tried to keep the colors used to a minimun since that makes remembering what colors to mix a bit easier, but I don't know whether that was helpful or a hinderance. I used Titanium White, Winsor Blue, Cadmium Red Hue, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Yellow Ocre, and Burnt Sienna. I hope you like, I'm moving on to oils and then maybe some watercolor trials, I've seen a lot of inspiring watercolor work lately.
If we could all not look at the ear and hair, I'd be forever greatful.

this is one of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite musicals, you captured it goodly. i hate when i see a drawing of someone that looks nothing like they claim, it's just wrong. but you did spectacular. yay!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like! And yes, I also hate it when I try to draw something and it doesn't look like who it's supposed to. Very frustrating!

Got to give you credit, this looks pretty good for your first time with acrylic. My first time with any medium looks like a five year old did it hehe.

Congrats

Haha I have the same syndrome. I tend to think that this painting does indeed look like a 5 year old did it.

You did a fantastic job, you should be more than proud of this, especially for a first time with a new medium.

Thank you very much! I'll have to try acrylics again one day, I got a bit put off by them with this painting, but really, can't give up after one bad experience.

Goodness, this peice is truly exquisite! I love the sort of creamyness of the paint texture, and the tones and shading are so natural that it looks like a photo. <3

Yeah, I'm a big fan of oils too, but haven't used them since High School. I've just started something with them, and I'm scared spitless I'm going to screw it up. Best part is that you don't have to worry about your paints drying on your canvas too fast, since they take a while. So versatile
