Based on a cool old time sepia photo I came across. I apologize if this is your great grand aunt. The finish work on this ended up taking forevah, but I think I am pleased with it. Sometimes you work and work forever on especially finish work, then I can't really say whether it is necessarily worse or better. It gets very subjective. Whatever, it's up and I can wash my hands of it, then move on to another old time photo.

ReplyDeletethank you, pioneer woman. thank you.
impressive as always. keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, to disturb you, but in the final drawing, her neck seems to be bend too much and her ears are slightly too big to be from a woman. I love the colors and her intense stare.

If you change the Hair and from the neck downwards, you could easily change this picture to a portrait of a man. Then you don't even need to touch the ears.

ReplyDeleteSuperb realism! But what really caught my eye is that unusually childlike expression on her face and those ears sticking out of her head. It's like she is up to some mischief.
