Some technical practice / stress-relief. I've been working on this off and on for a while, so it's not particularly coherent, but it was relaxing to work on. Getting render-happy is one of my weaknesses, skipping over solid structure to get to the fun detailing part. It's not a good habit to be in, but I figure it's more productive to do this than to veg out in front of the tv after work. Maybe?

I promise, my next image will be thoughtfully composed and constructed. Next time... Scout's honor. And while I'm making promises, next time I'll use reference so the pose looks natural. I posed her the way I personally would stand, but I have some weird anatomical things going on that look really uncomfortable for normal ppl. Excuses, excuses.

You're the artist so you'll see the flaws. I am on the outside and so I say 'nice'.

We have old buildings where I live that have blue brick buildings like this one. I absolutely love to photograph people on them. Love her pose, btw and the the smile is great!

In addition to being a gorgeously painted beauty,
the depth in this is so amazing!

The colors and values are just brimming with life in this piece. The highlights are perfectly placed. My only nitpick would be her shoes, they look like they're floating ever so slightly, but then again, I don't know the exact form of the shoe.

You're right about the shoes, I need to tweak that shadow so she doesn't look like she's hovering.
