I'm getting closer to what I originally wanted.

I’ll have to work on the hair. And also that smile.

I screwed up the entire face.

I haven’t posted for the last ten days, not because I haven’t worked on this piece, but because I ruined the piece immediately after my last posting. While making changes to the size and shape of the model’s body, I looked up to find I had somehow shifted the entire face completely out of position and that threw the likeness completely out of whack. It took me literally this long to reshape it to something even close to where I had it ten days ago.

A little improvement.

Is this looking better at all?

Truthfully, I can’t even tell.

Interesting...

I just tried tinkering with the camera’s focal length. Perhaps a 70mm lens is better than the default 50mm?

Getting closer.

I tried a different view to see just how close I was. I still need to clean up a few things, but it appears the camera may have been distorting my perspective. I guess I’ll stick with this angle for now.

Latest...

Not what I want, but I’m still working on this.

Old piece, new model...

I’m far from done… But I might be getting close.
