There's something terribly frustrating about not being able to figure out what's wrong. Or why I can't get it right.
It might be because I'm working in such a large format (4x6 ft.) - something I'm not used to. Or maybe I'm just being overly critical of my work and the next time I look at it, everything'll seem fine. I dunno.
There's just something I can't seem to work out on the right shoulder. I've even considered tracing the left and duplicating it on the right, but that's not gonna happen.
The model wasn't perfectly centered under the light, that much I can tell from the reference photos. The photos don't seem 'wrong' but this painting sure does… somehow…
Oh well… we'll see where the next session leads.
Cheers!

You are not suppose to think it's perfect, it will never be. Later you may be 100 times the artist while being 100 times as unhappy with the results.
Just make another drawing about the frustration. Something with big red arrows. lol
To me the painting looks great. You should get rid of the tools in the next photo. You take the depth out of the image like that. Why distract the viewer with plastic pots?
Also crop and straighten the photo a bit. Digital art is very different from the gallery, there is no harm in adjusting the color a bit and making an alternative web version of the image.
Anyway, I thought it was an interesting thing to see.
Good luck :-)
hey Jeff, the right shoulder may be a little square I dunno it looks pretty sweet though I think I know that guy... lol let me know when you want to do mine :P bye sweetie!
