How many paintings are there ?
I was so intimidated to try a HUMAN. I literally sketched it on my canvass and then left it for almost a year. I hate leaving things unfinished, so I ended up procrastinating painting ANYTHING. I was so stuck with fear of not doing it well enough. Had to totally "get over myself". Finally finished it. And I have to say, Cinnamon made it so easy to follow her. I wish I had just jumped in sooner. And it turned out for me, the HAT was the hardest part.
This is also my first attempt at skin tones. This painting turned out better than I expected, I'm actually quite happy with it. I give all the credit to Cinnamon who, as usual, explains everything extremely well, making shading this painting not nearly as intimidating as it seems.
Great job.

Great job. It looks like you used a bigger canvas. Did you paint it large?
