This is not a Sktchy model, this is my Sketchbook Skool friend KJ, who went to an art show with her friend Kara and unwisely mimicked a statue, leading to this travesty. There are a few faces from Sktchy that I'm not wanting to paint, for various reasons (mostly because they are boring), so I took a side road and tried this challenge instead. Extreme expressions, like that fella with the eyebrows and the teeth a few posts ago, are so much more interesting.

I captured the attitude fairly well. I could have done better with preserving more highlights, but...there it is.
Someday I will make a funny face and post it, and KJ can have her revenge. Someday.
