Here is an update of my progress. I made some changes based on your feedback. I was not happy with the expression of her face, and I tried to change it a bit.
with additional lighting effects:
I think it might call it finished soon. I could add some storytelling elements to her necklace. Perhaps it was a gift from someone. I am starting to get slightly frustrated. I think adding too many details early on, completely derailed me from the storytelling elements. I need to have a more clear goal with my painting from the start.
Note to self:
Limit to sane amount of layers (I am scared of not being able to
rollback as I progress during the painting. I need to have confidence
and merge/limit my layers even if I cannot undo later.)
Plan more ahead during initial phases of the painting. (It is much easier to change direction during the earlier phases of painting. Having a clear goal, and planning composition etc. ahead would help me a lot I think.)
I think it might be turning out ok, but my progress could have been much less frustrating if I had defined a clear goal from the beginning, haha. I will try to have more fun next time, attempting to finish my paintings!
