**Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying the day or night :) for me it is 3 am and I just finish working on this piece. I challenge myself because I'm not really good at copying facial features and a lot of times it doesn't look near as what its supposed to so I just gotten used to it but I know getting too comfortable with what you're always used to is not always a good thing,challenging yourself with your weaknesses is great for personal growth and it will help you to be more inspired and motivated to continue your passion. And as they always say there is always room for improvement :) **

This is the original picture,I got it from Instagram but I made sure to ask consent first before posting the picture :)
It doesn't look like 100% like the picture and there is still a lot of work for improvements but I hope you guys enjoyed it ! :)
The Process
** And if you have any opinions or suggestions feel free to comment down below :) **
nice, it looks same
Thanks @masummim50 !
I'm pretty weak with realistic drawing as well, from what I can see I would have added more volume to the hair and lips ;) but the overall result is pretty good! But you're absolutely right, working on your weaknesses is the only way to improve them! :)
thank you Milooooo! :) i kinda hold myself back with the hair im affraid im gonna over do it and she would look different haha xD but you're totally right i should've added more. Yesssss you will only get one result if you challenge yourself and that is improvement :)
It sure is! Perhaps it could be an idea to built yourself a lightbox, just a box with a lamp in it and a glass or transparent flat piece of plastic which covers it all, so you can draw on a different sheet of paper overlapping the one you already have started a drawing on. Like this you don't touch the original drawing, and you can try different solutions ...I love it when I do the inking!
ohhhlalalalala you're a genius milo! i never thought of that i always stick with my original drawing and if i messed it up i'm done and there is no going back. im great with DIY too so i'm definitely gonna try that out :)
Hahaha naaaah,I am no genius, clever at the most XD try it and let me know, I'm pretty sure you'll have a lot of fun
Beautiful! I want to get back to water coloring painting. Inspiration ko to. Hehe
Thank you @noellesevilla ! And you should girl :) dati least favorite ko watercolor as a medium ngayon eto na lagi kong ginagawa. Saka you have the skills kaya sure na maganda magiging artworks mo :)
Opposite tayo ngayon. Before super love ko traditional art with water color. Ngayon when I try to get back to it, parang 3rd grader nag paint. Haha. Pero one of these days, definitely I will make something. Btw, for me, kuha mo ang mata and expression. Overall, great painting. Keep arting! haha
right on... really liking the light wash you did on the face and the background...and the minimal colors really makes the whole piece pop... dope work!!
thanks man ! i really appreciate it :D
yo thanks for all the votes homie!! just wanted to make sure you knew about voting power and all that.. seems like your depleting urs very fast.... you get 20% back every 24hrs.. and i found below 80% your votes are worth less and less... just a fyi to help you keep your $ up... if you already know all this sorry for the repeat :) keep up the art!!!
