So good, excellent work, you have a natural feel for anatomy and beauty. I love the bait idea, it really comes across, I noticed it before I read your explanation.
I also love how you started without a plan, and let the face itself speak to you and ask you for the proper body.
With people watching, that's equivalent of walking a tight rope over a snake pit for an artist. :)
owoh, thank you so much haha, such kind words * __ *
i tend to fail with plan, for some reasons, they make me stiffen up ?? weird but true !
