Very nice work here! Thank you for posting it!
Hair today, wish it was gone tomorrow!
Wonderful work here! Thank you for sharing it. I think you captured the texture of the hair nicely!
This looks great! Thank you for sharing it. The texture of the hair is wonderful!
Mine could have been better, but I liked this lesson too!
This one was a challenge. (But that’s a good thing!) The face still needs refining.
Great job, Irene! This shows a solid understanding of the fundamentals! – Scott
Another challenge. Not pleased with my results but so enjoy trying. Irene
