I'm starting new painting...
I did draw it some time ago in graphite.
I was tempting re-do it since, after I been given improved reference.
You must know, the original reference was faded drawing made on cardboard...
No details, rather sort of patches of shadows instead.
At the bottom right corner it's that faded original.
So I was *guessing the face, and making features up, hoping my friend will appreciate my efforts...
Later, when the drawing was at its final stage, other friend did improve quality of the original reference, by using a mobile phone app...
The same reference came out sharp, detailed and in colour!
Amazing!
So you know WHY I felt sorry for my poor efforts, and willing re-do it again
This is the time ...
By painting this great soldier, I want to pay respect to this country, and show my sadness and emotions, after our R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II did pass away ...
The challenge is before me.
Painting flesh tones will be a real test to me.
