The Awkward Stage of a Painting

So this painting is currently in an awkward stage. The drawing is covered with a good approximation of color and value, but the drawing has suffered.

Doing portraits this small is difficult, I find it super hard just to keep a steady hand. I figure that the next session I will have to spend at least two hours on the head alone, it looks the worst currently.

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
