Lovely Lady - Tight Pencils (Patreon)

Here is the final sketch before paint. I never love the likenesses in this stage, I always feel like I didn't get it right until I get into the paint stage where it typically comes together. My face work is where I struggle the most, I feel like I've gotten better over the past few years, but looking back through my older work I tend to cringe a bit. Practice makes perfect I guess though I don't think I'll ever actually get to perfect...
