β€œThe aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.” – William Faulkner

I'm mesmerized by the piece... especially the slant of her neck and expression or lack of on her face πŸ‘πŸ½

    Thank you! I tried to stay authentic to the reference as much as possible. I just really liked the lighting. Multiple light sources is hard to get right without it looking like a cartoon.

    And I love that quote! First time I've heard it and it's an instant classic.

    I was curt in my comment nonetheless you're lighting is spot on friend. The strands of hair gives me the butterflies....spooky sin!

    I have no idea... I just paint what's in the reference. So maybe pick a good reference?

    I've also learned for me being less precise and more sloppy tends to convey better in the final version.
