I can't even begin to calculate how long this took me. 12 hours, maybe? Either way, far longer than it probably should but since this is only art attempt #5 and first time drawing faces, I'm more than happy with the result. Like, how did I create something that actually looks like them!?!?! I am so excited to share this and am really proud of myself for trying something I never thought I could do. Obviously there is still so much to learn, but I hope to keep practicing and getting better.
Right now, I'm only working on copying photos so that I can work on the painting/blending/layering skills so I'm sticking really closely to the references. Hopefully, drawing original art will be possible one day.
