An interesting and challenging week is over, a #oneweekportrait - week to be precise.
If you have not heard about it, it is a challenge hosted by paintable via facebook where it is possible to participate in a community to create a portrait painting in 5 steps, each day one step.
I'm not a beginner so I started there just for fun, but I challenged myself by using just the round brush in PS up to day 4!
the idea was to turn the digital painting in something that looks like traditional oils
Participating turned into a big motivation - as David , the founder of paintable wants from everyone - to create their best portrait possible.
And he gives a lot of pointers and resources along the way, which is very nice.
I started with the reference of the model: feeviun
The first video lesson from paintable taught me something obvious, that I missed in many previous works:
better measurement and a good sketch to get started.
I usually started very messy with bold shapes and rearranging them along the process.
Here is some progress and a close-up:

He was a fantastic painter which I like a lot. The reference is a good example why. The girl at this painting looks so normal, like caught in the moment and certainely not staged. Great artistic skills!

He was indeed. Glad you point that out, it was not at my radar but sometimes creative choices are rather subconscious. Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers

Better title... "Girl with the Green Frog"... "Girl with Lovely Red Hair, Red Earrings, and a green frog with Red Eyes..."
Or just 'Beautiful'... let's go with that.
