Day 82

It's done! Pretty happy with the result and improvement, despite hearing from people that they liked the January (bottom) one more. I am still thinking it through, as I can understand the critique of the features being more anatomically correct and the highlights being a bit overdone.

I do have to admit that I like the contrast and the sharp nose of the old one more, but the forms of the rest of the face are a lot more unclear than the new one. I was kinda just winging it back then and following the reference.

I felt a lot more confident in making choices about the forms and felt more in control. I was also more driven I'd say, as I didn't want to face the idea of still being at the same step. The reference felt more like inspiration than a strict guide.

I am not sure if I am being stubborn here. I usually agree with critique, but this time I am a bit conflicted.
