Cracky-Chan painting update (cracky post #4)
I was sorely mistaken when I said many weeks ago that I was almost done with this painting 
I decided to repaint the eyes…totally painted over them. I have also completely changed the shirt-dress thing, the necklace, and the hair, something like 2, 3, and I think 5 times respectively. If I had planned this out and knew what I was doing, I would be done 5 times over by now…but that’s cool, each project I work on is a huge learning experience, especially since I haven’t been painting very long. Soon I want to start a project that I actually plan out really well
Anyway, I need to decide on this how much I want to fix and how much just to leave, I am definitely spending an excessive amount of time on this small (8×10 inches) project…I keep taking breaks and working on other stuff though and the longer I spend on it the more I want it to be the best I can do
Made some major progress on the hair last nite, titanium white, yellow ochre, raw umber, and burnt sienna with a weird small flat shader that leaves brush marks and a really mangled 0 round brush that is all splayed out…it works really well for hair! The skin tone is all raw umber and alz. crimson and titanium white.

Oh I’m thinking about putting it in this insane frame I got (:B)
I’m looking forward to painting more stuff from real life, this was fun. Overall this was a pretty quick one, maybe 5 hours or so? Most of my other paintings took much longer, like in the range of 10-30 hours, but that’s mostly since I paint over them so many times and am still learning how to render various materials and surfaces and get the paint to do what I want.
