Ok, I am having a meltdown. Here is the tiger with a few more hours on him. I put in the coarse facial fringe on the right side, but think I built up too much black underneath it. I am hoping that once I get the front leg in and finish the cheek and muzzle there will be enough color in it to make the fringe pop. Right now I might try to scrape out some of the black or maybe add in a little bit of the orange yellow so it looks like his neck and upper chest just glimpsing through the mane. Man, I hate this, to come this far and now to have a blow up and of course it's in the most prominent part of the picture - dumb dumb dumb. Will try not to panic and get everything else in before I make a decision on how to fix.
Bold woman's portrait
Bold Ok, for today's portrait I went out of the box and decided to try a different look and approach. This is on watercolor paper, I applied a layer of paper collate over it (you can see that some of it started lifting - so got to use more medium to glue it next time) Anyway then I tried to leave part of that under collage showing, even in the face. Went back in and applied several more light lawyers of transparent and opaque paint and then put in the hair using my dagger bus. Gosh that brush makes hair so much easier While this might not the best example what are your thoughts to taking portraits this more dynamic direction? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Maybe you've been working too hard! Tomorrow is Sunday,
treat yourself to a little rest from colored pencils.
You'll find that the way to solve. Seen on pc
everything seems well made and the areas that you should care about them vary
a little without major problems. I hope to be useful and invite you to stay calm.
Hugs and Smiles,Rita.
