I decided to paint this girl sitting in a chair reading, inspired by the girl in a chair from this morning. Everything went wrong from the beginning, when I made her nose too long. Nose too long = face too big = head too big, and then I do the hands and body at the "right" size and she ends up looking...strange. Also, I could not get the eyes to track in this. I don't know if I shaped them wrong, put them at conflicting angles, or what, but no matter what I do she looks slightly cross-eyed. The only things I was happy with were the hair and that one hand.
Sometimes you just have to say, Okay, fail. And try again tomorrow.
"Pony-tail Reader"—pencil, watercolor, Uniball pen. Started out 9x12, got cropped to about 9x10 inches?
