So I have to say, this has been my most confusing experience as a figure painter and has raised many questions. My previous post with Saladin with a terrible picture (what I thought) had a much higher score than when I put up a better picture (what I think is better).. Why is this? Is my perseption of my own work so distorted that I think I am better than I actually am? Or is my perception of what I think a "good" photo distorted? Were people before when they voted just being generous with my older works to create an inflated score and sense of accomplishment as a painter? I by no means think myself a fantastic painter and I have still much to learn. I thought I have been improving yet the scores are telling me otherwise. Honestly I am having a difficult time with the feelings I'm experiencing..
I like your version and ad i painted it myself the difficulties of this bust (and to photography it ... If you want to see bad photos you can fo to my page :) )
I use my phone with a light box ... My photos are better but sometimes the color is quite desaturated (quite grey) ... So I'll try with a real camera .. to enhance also the depth of the photos ...i keep trying

Great work buddy, shame there's not multiple angles, I know your paint with pics mine are shocking! GOLD!Jeff Burns "Tinman"
I'm on my phone. I can only load 1 pic at a time. When I try to do more, all the pics turn the same as whatever the last photo loaded is.George Tsougkouzidis

You only paint for 4 years? I would like to have your talent in such a short time ....Jeff Burns "Tinman"
Thanks so much Bran! I’m guessing I’m closer to 6 years as a more serious painter now? I should probably update my profile.eric wolfsPLUS
