Portrait practice, because I missed taking my time with a face. This one’s about a month old by now... I’d try to be more creative with my title but I’m still a bit sick & would rather be lazy.
there's an entire story just written in this portrait. i love the strength and intelligence you get just from looking at her. it helps that she has gorgeous, gorgeous hair. beautiful detail with the threads of gold in it, too. beautiful work. <3
