Hello everybody. I just started this portrait and have a block in done . I’m working on glazing the blouse at the moment. I’m putting in the brighter colors and then I’ll glaze over it , not sure yet if I’m gonna stick with the yellow . I think I will maybe glaze over it with a transparent yellow oxide ? I am going to move forward with the blouse and it’s nothing like the reference photo which is a brown sweater. 😖 I’m shooting for something more elegant. It’s a three-quarter portrait. the background I plan on putting in subtle detail of a blackish wallpaper design. I’m looking at a few references on the website that I can copy from but again unlike what is in my reference photo . so I am doing things slightly different and using my creativity , any thoughts or comments would be great.
thank you

Check your light source for shadow angles is first and foremost. The shadow colours and angle must all tie in together to look right.
Make sure the folds of the material you are creating are the correct shape and in the correct place, for that type of material and not the same as a woolen jersey.
Put the resource photos and your painting in B&W and check the values are all OK?
Have fun.
