Not at all, I had a feeling that I was missing something (from my portrait studies) and that very first reply had already confirmed my suspicions - I've painted dozens of portraits now where it's felt like I could keep trying to hammer away at the form forever and still not have it actually look right (although the planes / form was technically there more or less)

I was watching a painting DVD by Quang Ho where he said you're not supposed to paint things "literally," and I think I'm beginning to somewhat understand that concept now; I'll try coming back here after some master studies
