Practice painting

I worry sometimes that for all the time I've put into learning new skills, I've been forgetting to say anything of any importance in my work. So now I'm trying to put down the references so that I can start finding my voice in the digital format.

I noticed, especially with the painting in the post before this, that I had been treating the eyes differently from the rest of the piece. That's gotta stop. I also want to bring more of the way I draw into the paintings, because I do think that I'm more skilled with a pencil than a brush, so I figure, y'know, bring that in, and it'll make things, uh, better. Repetitive sentence is repetitive.
