I have been working on this for so long, trying so hard to get it right, and now that its done I just feel...neutral.
I don't love it and I don't hate it, I feel very much in the middle. Unpleasant middle.

Inspiration for this came from various sources, though several of `Dianae's deviations were looked at quite oftenly throughout. I wanted the beauty of her females but I need a lot more practise. This is my very first serious try at drawing and painting humans. And I didn't use any direct reference, just many to try and eyeball how things should look.
I played around with her face so many times. Lengthening it, shortening, moving the lips, etc. I'm somewhat pleased with it now that its done, but so much more time could have gone into it. I was just afraid that I would completely lose interest in it and not upload it at all. Uploading as is, calling it safe. May go back and fix some things if I get some really good critiques.

The leaves, I've decided that I'm hanging pretty damn near borderline hate, and the branches are a little better, though not by much.

Anyway. Not good for the confidence to beat yourself up. Why should you bother criticising your own work, there are so many other people that will do it for you. _{And not always in a way that you want.}
