Thank you! And I've been drawing as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of drawing was preschool drawing monster trucks.
Though I've only been trying to get good at the craft since we've become empty nesters the last few years. Before then it was just cartoons and doodles.
Thank you! I got feedback a few times saying these look like a photo not real life. The reference is a photo so I'm trying to alter the colors and lighting to make it feel like real life instead of a photograph.
I misread this as "evening run" and it still made sense, like she just got done jogging to the perfect place to see the sunset (or sunrise?).
Edit: your facial planes are out of this world. I can "feel" the structure of her face. That's amazingly good portraiture right there. Keep being awesome! I hope I can make characters feel so alive one day.
Thank you! Getting volumes right is something I find quite satisfying. Noses in particular. I find them challenging and necessary to pull the face together.
And you'll get there, it just takes practice and effort.

You are so talented. You do lighting and texture very well. How did you get started with art?
