Man this is so cool! I really enjoy these progress pictures! Im always impressed how someone can do this starting from a blank canvas with just some paint and brushes (and a lot of determination and patience of course!). You mentioned 4 sessions, how long do you typically work in a session? Im just curious how much time it takes you to paint this :) FYI i’ve been searching for a good picture of myself but couldnt find anything good in my opinion. If i find some good one at some point all pass it to you! Thanks for sharing your work on steemit!

Thank you so much for your comment and compliments @michelmake! :)
I would say I worked around 4 hours per session on this painting, so lets say around 16 hours in total.
I usually keep my sessions around 4 hours as I tend to go a bit ''blind'' after that point and often end up making wrong decisions.
Thank you for looking to see if you had any photos! :) I appreciate it! If you do find one you think would work, don't be shy to send it ;)
I will for sure! Your comment regarding “getting blind” is interesting. I used to do a lot of sketching when I was younger. I started working on portraits too. And indeed often times I got stuck after a few hours and messing things up or loosing interest. I guess a large part of doing this stuff is dealing with yourself. I'm guessing its even worse for painting as it's more complicated and more things can easily get messed up!
