I’ve decided that, no matter how much the outcome horrifies me, I will post. I’ve made my 3 year old granddaughter look like a 50 year old tourist, but no matter. I learned a lot from this, and that’s what it’s all about. 🤪
Children's portraits are the hardest: they have the perfect lineless and round faces... and if you are aldo emotionally attached to the subject, you are in for a big dose of disappointment. I know this the hard way. So do not dispair. Just continue the practice. Eventually it turns out acceptable. If you could remove the emotional attachmant, it would be easier earlier. It's never a goid idea to start practicing portairs with anyone you love. :)
I guess the issue here is
the distance from the eye to the bridge of the nose.
BUT!!!! that hat!!!! I could just grab it. You did an exquisite job in rendering the shape and the folds and the stitches.
You really deserve admiration for getting past your block to post. You are one step further in your artistic journey: embracing the outcome. The saying goes: done is better than perfect.
