did this off of a photoref to try and get out of my semester-long art slump... trying out new techniques and brushes, too (thanks mr t!)
done in photoshop 5.5, pressure set to size only, opacity at 50%... took me around 45 mins to an hour, i think...



self-crits:

1. i'm still not pushing the lights and darks enough...

2. the hair blows (but yes, that really is how my hair used to look)

3. zero shading on the shirt and coat...

4. the eyes are kinda loopy...

5. come to think of it, the features are slightly skewed...

okay, that's about it, i think, so fire away...

[edit]
one more self-crit:

6. the brushstrokes are way too messy, in the sense that there's no real thought put into them... my goal is sargent and spooge-like level of precision...
