Portrait of the famous pirate of the XVIII century.

Well, you did a great job with the colors of the portrait, although there isn't as much texturing by comparison. I do like the difference in brush work on the background, clothing and skin tones, and I particularly like the freckling you gave her. She does have an expressive face, especially on the nose and lips; and the shadows of her eyes are pretty expressive. I like her simple, cropped wavy hair design and rendering (it doesn't detract from the face and frames her head well). I also like the reddish highlights on her hair. I really like the choice of orange for the background. It's warm and I like how you rough-brushed it over an under-layer of blue (and the styling works well, making the piece more cohesive). Overall, I feel that this was a very successful piece. Keep it up. Great job.

I'm glad you like the picture. It was a little bit experimental with the red and blue colors in her hair, just trying to do something different.
Thanks for your comment!

Beautiful render. For me it has the softens of a pastel drawing. LOVING the colour blends you made in the shadows, very well done.

I really love the lighting. Beautiful render.

Thanks! Happy you like it.
