Portrait before... and after

I am still working on the portraitplay online class by Alisa Burke,

and had fun trying my hand on making my own interpretation of a picture of a model.

So here's before:

And here's after:

And another one, before:

And after:

What I found difficult:

* how to start?

* when is it finished?

What I loved:

* making it your own, just freeride with the paint

* adding detailed lines with pen or pencil to get a sort of loose look

* how the colours turned out

Inspiration for portraits is endless, look at Van Gogh, 

how many self-portraits did he make and each one totally different.

There is a very nice one in blue which I really like.
