Excellent, learning fast a little more shadow on the left, but overal very good. You've caught the devil in his eyes, the background looks a little false you should make one side darker than the other, light on the left would inhance the hair shine without nothing more to the shine. Good work. A difficult painting not your choice mine and that's great for you to learn but reqest. I would have like to see more colour but OK with the difficulty 4 claps :grin: :8) :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :grin:

the background wich i made was even more bad than this... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: actually i was trying somthing with it but failed(i tried to make the left side black with the shirt and give some light from the right side but it became a bit messy)... so i erazed the background with m.s. paint and made this..... :laugh: :laugh: ya i was a tough one.... but i like challenges and so made this you have givven 4 claps i think i havent dne it well as i dint liked it, i have even told you this that the portrait dint come up as i wanted it to be.... so whats the next mission....

This time I want you to paint your favourite star, but only very lightly, no heavy painting, just light colour in a wash style, first drawing the basic drawing, get it right! then wet the areas and wash an under coat of light Acrylic colour on it, no black, say light blue or purple. Make it all cloud like not even patches of white showing. The background as well should have the same colour and treatment. Wash out your acrylic brushes only they will go hard if paint is left on them. Wait until it's dry, You should be able to see your original sketch, then forget the wash and paint over it normally starting with a layer or watercolour. Then come back to me and Sigrid will be doing something else as you are both individuals with individual needs. :8)

Stop saying Sorry! Remember we learn from mistakes? The teacher you've had in the past are rubbish if they kept say you should always be perfect. Imperfection is how the world has such marvels. The only thing I get up tight about is your lack of confidence in your self Your great! Your countries great! your family a great! You have a great history in India. I hope you will make mistakes but when you do don't tell keep it a secret and people will admire your confidence. I never set my sight's low, I always could talk myself up up up, but I was like you until I was 14 then a friend bet me I could not kiss the best looking girl in the class so I asked her out and she said Yes from then on I realised she was as scared of me as I was of her. If you want my secret of talking to people who are suppose to be better than me I see them in my mind sat on a toilet. This brings them down to my level. By the way I sit on the toilet too. :grin: :8)

Brain you are awesome.... you are a great man with lots of knowladge and a very nice heart.......i am your fan....i really mean it from the bottom of my heart......; :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:thanks...... and i will always recal this lines of your wheni lose confidence.....and thankss for telling me you secret...... :laugh: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:hats off to you sir..... :blowkiss: :hug: :hug:
