new art, in this day and age, in this economy, in this country, in this society, in this account??

anyways i realized i never really gave painting a proper try so I gave it a go. Went to pinterest to pick a random reference and here we are. The person used as reference is Mariana Froes, didn't know who she was when I drew this, just picked her cause she looks pretty.

at first when I started I wasn't sure if it was working out, but I decided to trust the process for once and kept working on it till it finally got to a point of my liking. I might try painting more (maybe)
