I am *immensely* happy with how this piece is turning out, considering how terrible this actually looked when I first started it. I couldn’t decide on an expression, a face, skin-tone, nothing! But then, magic happened. This is really the first time I’m doing something like this so it’s a huge step for me, art-wise.

I really wanted to portray a subtle hint of sadness and pain in her eyes without going overboard with it, but I dunno, there doesn't seem to be much of an expression at all in her face. It seems to be more like a "stand here and look at me and don't do anything" kind of face than anything else. Bleh. I dunno. I'm tired.

This is beautiful! If you wanted to portray subtle hint of sadness/pain you try to play with her eyebrows a bit maybe? Seriously tho, just loving the contrast on her face there, it really adds depth to her face. =)

It looks rilly great! I'm lovin' the lipstick. Hmm, I have an idea. How about - leaving the same expression BUT making some mascara smudges around her eyes, as an indicator that she'd been crying? But that's just a suggestion.

GAWSH WHAT AWESOME MAKE-UP I WISH I HAD BUT DON'T!

And the black hair matches her pale complexion and grey-ish green-ish make-up perfectly.

Oh.

Man.

I knew that son of a bitch would come back to haunt me someday. It always found a way to ruin my day.
