Mandisa is done! Her clothes hated me so I went with making the picture reference background as the background, her real face is faded in the BG and lyrics to one of her songs. - I used MyPaint and GIMP for this! :>
Funny thing is I'm NOT a morning person. XD

Her eyes bother me a bit (shapes and angles :S), and I don't like the hair! - And her expression isn't the same like I wanted... :gaah

I tried! But I lost motivation, once that happens my brain doesn't work right. :(
I hope it's look-at-able anyway. :oops:

CnC Welcomed, Idk if I'll fix her up any further but I'll take any critiques in mind for future reference!

mokonafan: yay, portrait finished :)! good job, moko! especially for finishing it even if you had trouble with some things and lost motivation - i leave to many things unfinished and it feels so good to tie a project up and be done with it. i think it's a good portrait, recognisable and in a very likeable style. i like your choice of background too, nice having her reflection and the song lyrics in there.

Still a good job if you didn't want an exact replica. I know I couldn't do anything like it. :bigthup

Great job Moko. It's been many months since I painted Sharadil but I still haven't got around to doing the shadow under her hair. I often don't feel like finishing something because I would really rather be doing other things so you are not alone.

Yay! is right. xD
Once I get out of the zone, almost impossible to get back in to it. XD
I'm glad you think it still came out good. :D
The background was a kinda, just had to be that way. :P
