I tried really hard to capture the warmth, nuance, and beauty of the models skin and subtracting everything else. I think I did the best I have with hard and soft edges as well.
What do you think?

The colours are astonishing and im in love with the technique, gives off a kind of hyperrealist vibe even though it certainly isnt hyperrealistic, with the hard lines almost becoming ‘cartoony’ some places, and it all just works, even though such a move sound mad if youd just hear an explanation and not experience the work.
Love the emotion captured as well, really a vibe thats captured here, one that i know intimately but cant really put into words. The best kind.
Very impressed, thanks for sharing ♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Particularly for all the detail on how you see the piece. It’s hard to see it objectively after hours of painting it. Seeing it though your eyes is helpful and delightful!
Definitely get that, im a musician and its exactly the same, you get lost in the sauce at some point being so attentive to all the details and microdecisions haha
Glad i could be a fresh set of eyes, speaks to the power of art being shared ✌️
Be proud, its a special piece!
That makes sense! And thank you again.
