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.

#19

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 :slight_smile:

highlighting on the lips/chin-area in the right softness and mass definition probably clear the angle :slight_smile: (had to fight with the same in my desire piece) looking forward to your next update :slight_smile: keep up the great work Mona :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

#25

wow that looks nice…

Also I liked the style in which you did that portrait. keep up the good work :slight_smile:

#26

Wow, lovely work Mona! :slight_smile: I’m not sure I see any GPs? :smiley: 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!

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!

Hello Mona… glad to see you back in force with this new stuff…
Same feeling than Sabie about the foreground… maybe too much dark for my taste… but in the same time, it’s more of possible…
…I’m speechless front of these clouds… even painted, they look more of real…
Congrats for this piece… I hope it’s the first of a long series…

Kisses to you… and your GP’s :slight_smile:

#32

I agree with Sabrina, Mona, this is beautiful . I love the painterly look to it…very nice!!

#33

Hej Mona - good to see you back in business!
Those clouds look fantastic. Almost like Marcus Larsson, very nice!
:slight_smile:

#34

Hi there

great thread so far I must say!
saw a lot of progression in that Self Portrait

Your muchroom scene and the latest (the clouds) one seem to suffer a bit from edges being too hard. If you would soften your edges (even for things that seem to have hard edges), all the elemenets in your paintings would fit better together, as where now it looks like they have been painted on different layers.
Definitely want to see more from you!

#35

Hello GPQP)
You know I’m impressed! your portrait is Amazing! Last update is perfect, you have unique style! your color version of your portrait is so great like photo if u’ll look from far distance!

Landscape, so amzing, as u said its your first image, its really great one, its on my desktop now)
Clouds are really photorealistic! I think you had Level up some time ago :wink: hehe

Good Luck Dear Mak!

Timur.
