Portrait

Well, um, wow. I had a lot of fun with this one, and I really think it shows. I focused a lot more on texture and also on trying to make sure it all looks like part of the same painting, ambient lighting and so on.

Though, to be honest, the thing I'm proudest of is the face. Faces were always something I struggled with, and while some of that was eliminated by using someone else's lines, shading the face was usually where I fell anyway. Also worth noting is that coloring this only took me 5-6 hours, which isn't nearly as long as usual, and one of those hours was spent laying down flats.
