Artist's Comments

If this has taught me anything, it would be that I should attempt necks/shoulders more and I should stay away from afro hair. I cut this short as I was getting incredibly bored with the afro and I could not find a good way of doing it... not quit while your ahead, but more quitting why you haven't bugged up the whole thing :|

Program: Paintshop Pro 7.04

Style: Portrait in a vector art style - known as a vexel

Time: 14 hours 15 mins

Neck Shading: 49
Base layers 5

You did an really great job on her neck, shoulders, and face. It's your first shot at the hair. No worries. :)

As I said before the whole image is stunning! But don't worry about the hair :hug: You did great on it even though there are flaws. I know you will improve. I just know it :)

Even though the afro puff looks out of place the piece is still stunning! You always do great vexels.

I love the face. It's very detailed and smooth-looking.
I'm not too keen on the afro but it is your first time. Practise makes perfect.
