hallo Zapan… thanks… and sorry for no elfs… just me… haha… 
thanks you shakes… its fun to play with shadows and light… but I´m kind of “timid” don´t dare to do too much… a shadowchicken s the word maybe… 
and some more smudge and some minor changes to the shoulders… and soon time to do the fur… ops… 
the hair… stranded out some of it and later on getting into details…
and playing with some colors too…
CYa… :wavey:
This looks really cool! I would check the cheek structure and the location of the mouth. They seem to be too far down.
Hey Mona!
I’ve just discovered your new thread, cool!:bounce: A new outbreak of creativity after the challenge!
This looks like a great start, I’m looking forward to see your progress with this piece!

Hiya Mona,
I echo everyone’s sentiments here ~ I think this is coming along really nicely. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
hallo womball… been looking at that and changed a little bit, thanks
Sabrina… thanks you and welcome :bounce: gotta try a human sometime… haha
Rebeccak: thanks … :bowdown:
shakes: when I did the GIF… I sat here and said to myself, lights on… lights off… and when it didn´t work the first time I asked myself… where did I put the lightbulbs. the lights won´t go on… :surprised
I better get back and smudge more skin… this is fun, every little wrinkle just dissapear… Photoshop is more effective than wrinklecreams… 
haha

It looks better, but I think you could still trim off half of that distance. I don’t think the distance between the nose and mouth is that great.
great to see you working in here mona. the start looks great.
about the mouth, yeah it actually looks like its a bit low in the position wich could come from the looking down. also, the distance usually is a bit bigger there if somene has a button nose
highlighting on the lips/chin-area in the right softness and mass definition probably clear the angle (had to fight with the same in my desire piece) looking forward to your next update keep up the great work Mona
Mona,
Looking good! I think the left shoulder is a bit bright, but the definition of the right is coming along nicely. Have been out of town for a bit, my apologies for the delayed reply! Looking forward to your update.
Cheers,

Hey there, Mona!
Nice progress with your portrait:) ! Are you still around here, or also enjoying some ice-cream testing like Gunilla! I’ve heard that the summer finally came to Sweden too:D …

… and nobody inform me that you’re started an anat thread here Mona ? well… glad to see you’re working with you… I saw the progress… the way seem good… more contrast between ligthened parts and shadows will permit you to give the good shapes… I keep here to watching you… go Mona… 
wow that looks nice…
Also I liked the style in which you did that portrait. keep up the good work
Wow, lovely work Mona! I’m not sure I see any GPs? Only kidding you…I really think you’d do a lovely set of natural images, like the early naturalistic work of illustrator Beatrix Potter.
Nice to see your new work!
hallo theflash and thanks… happy you like it…
and a special edition to Rebeccak :bounce:
of course it´s a GP in there… don´t you see it? L
but thanks for the good critic Rebeccak… a serie is a good idea… gonna try that
CYa :wavey:
from my memory a view from my kitchenwindow a day last fall…
want it to get a feeling… is it gonna rain or has it just rained…
and wanna have that dark oilpainting look to it…
getting there?
CYa :wavey:
Hey there Mona!
So nice to see you back here with something new:) ! And I really like it, especially the sky seems to be very good for me:thumbsup: …perhaps the foreground is a bit too dark, it’s hard to see the details…
And I have to admit that I haven’t seen your forest picture before, also very pleasant and with an interesting style…definitely want to see more of this:bounce: !
Nice day for you!
