My First Oil Painting

A study of my hand I did for the painting

Paintings

This is a small composition of cropped out of the shadow drawing from before.

This is where I am right now. I probably should have started earlier and I don't like the way it turned out in relation to the original picture. The first thing a fellow AFO student of mine said was "I that you?" He pointed out flaws like the eyes and feet being too big. I think the nose is too long but it doesn't meet my right cheek like it does in the picture.

I'm going to take a break for a while and try to correct a few things later.
