So the addiction has not subsided and hence I have been doing some more digital paintings. The lady with the dress was a challenge and I could not get the face correct. The blame partly lies with using a small photo reference which meant guessing had to occur. That would be fine if one is a master anatomy artist, I am not there yet but hopefully better my self with more education. To correct the mistakes I created an imaginary distraction of the background image. Does it help? I am not sure but it does fill in the empty spaces. š
The first image was fun, but again how to draw or paint hair? do I just splash in the highlights and that should give the affirmation of solidity?. I can actually say the hair is not sharp enough and appears blurry. I do admit this must be due to using various brushes to try and shorten the time span of painting in the hair. A different approach needs to be looked at. However this is a finished image and I won’t try and rectify it but will leave it open for the future.
Both images were drawn from references.

The series of girls is great! I’m especially fond of the bright colors!
