Finished - as much as i'm going to finish anyhow

I messed up on this and flattened the image before i'd done the background but apart from that i think it's gone well for an early attempt at a proper painting.

There is quite a lot i don't like about and hopefully i can improve on.

Still working on this ... a fair way to go yet

Pretty Crap So Far ...

This is a work in progress. I'm posting it here so that in a years time I'll be able to look back and see how much better I am.

It's my first attempt at a portrait, I'm following a tutorial in the ImagineFX magazine by an artist called Marta Dahlig.

I think the main problem with it at the moment is, its just basically a bad drawing of a face but I'm going to see it through to some kind of end.
