I do not think it is a great likeness, but I still think it’s a neat portrait. I could certainly use some practice with lettering, but that’s ok! I took lots of progress shots. Which helps remind me that the first 70% is terrible and just keep going!

Cindy, nice painting. The textures on the congress woman’s clothing are really cool. I’m a fan contrast and textures.
