Lizzie - II

domenica 8 febbraio 2026

After spending a bit of time creating characters, I decided to take another try at a portrait of my friend, Liz. This time, I was more careful to hold to the centerline of her face and “build out” her cheekbones a bit. I also discovered where I had gone awry in several of my previous portraits. Instead of paying attention to values, I had paid more attention to the colors of the photograph that I worked from as a reference. Once I began thinking in terms of values, I realized that I had made her eyes too light. So I darkened them up!
