Sleep, What sleep?

The last few nights have been late ones. I have been staying up to work on painting and the baby is teething so I am feeling a little tired. Sometimes the fact that I am not getting much rest makes me feel more obstinate and I end up staying up longer just to not let my tiredness win. Maybe not the best approach but at least I have been getting some painting done.

After Nap time

After Bedtime

I have not yet worked on the hair or the hat since block in and only put in a lowlight on the cup.

Shades not quite done

Shades is close to being finished, I need to work on the hat but I have to wait for the perfect paint brush to dry. I want to be careful to not overdevelop and over work the hat. I want it to be loose and to not draw away focus from the center of interest.

Shades

Progress is going well on Shades. This is a fun painting to work on because the energy of the character. This would not make a good portrait for her to own however because it does not portray her as nicely as desired.
