A couple of days ago, there was a "Louise Brooks"-Thread. I didn't know anything about her, but then I saw some pictures of this silent-movie star. I liked the pictures, so I TRIED to paint a portrait.

Thanks for visiting this thread.

Not bad at all, some really nice strokes going on in that "fur" of hers. Me like!

For critique's sake, I'd say her face seems a bit flat. If you take another look at the reference, her right side face is more in light than her right side.

Thanks,

Thank you for your thoughts.
To the lighting: As you can see, I changed the lighting completly compared with the reference and I'm not sure if I should give the face more contrast - but I have to think about it again. Maybe you are right.
