WIP Big Eye Self Portrait Art Original Painting Work in Progress + November Sketches, Sketch 2 & 3, Goddess & Fairy...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of an idealized big eye version of myself, I've been working on the skin tone and shading.  I'm going to move ahead to eyebrows, eye lashes, and lips; but I may revisit shading at a later junction.  I think this is the mermaid version of me...  I'm saving the highlights in the eyes until last.

This idealized big eyed self portrait is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.    

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

===============================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has an aloof quality...  I think she is most likely a goddess, although she could also be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in November. This is from day 2. 

I would like to try to reach a goal of 100 faces sketched on consecutive days, I started this effort on September 1st, 2017...  This is face 63. 

This is a rough sketch.
