Learning the planes of the face is one of the hardest things or me every time i study it, but each time i do my portraits get so much better.

This was awesome, David!! Great pointers. Painting skin is always so hard...! The last time I painted a portrait was about a week ago, and definitely shading the skin was the hardest part. When it's some simple, one directional top light, it's okay; but when the light changes, I find it sooo hard... time to study this month's deep dive 😄
