My first oil painting

Forum

Work in progress

Hey guys/gals,

Just started my first ever oil painting, its taken 3-4 hours so far.
Her heads around lifesize btw.

Pretty happy with the progress although the eyes need some more work and some other areas are in need of finishing.

Sorry for the pics quality, digital camera optimised for web, what can I say. [:P]

Any comments/critiques welcomed.

That looks amazing man. That's some natural skill.

Nice bit of gear malus, i suck at painting with oil. i find it takes to long to dry. gotta love the natural feel though. ive seen some korean artists work, who can actually emulate tradition media really well with just a tablet and photoshop.

ps: is this someone u know?
