Just trying to improve, slowly but surely. I've decided to do this exercise. I painted the face of an asian girl out of my imagination.

I knew I wanted her to have big lips and extremely prominent cheek bones, other than that I had nothin else in mind and went with whatever came to mind.

Next, I found photo reference and did a study of an Asian girl under similar lighting conditions. I used Grace Park because I'm a Battlestar Galactica nut.

Finally I did a third face, trying to apply what I learned from the study as much as possible. I think I learned a lot and I'm hoping the third face shows improvement from the first. I think this is a great exercise to directly apply what you learn from a study, and to help retain it by forcing yourself to see the flaws in your imaginative work and correct them.
I really recommend trying this out! I'll be doing a LOT more of these

The improvement you made between the first and second attempts I think are really clear. You can still see elements from the first in the second but they seem to be more more natural in comparison.

I think this is a great idea to help improve...might have to give it a go myself sometime :la:

DUDE! those are major Jumps i think (obviously) the photo study is the most realistic but the second attempt has a voice to it keep on truckin'!
