I tried sticking with only hard round opacity brush. Spent way too much time overrendering her face. And still couldn't make her look like the reference. She looks 20 years older. I think it's mainly because I couldn't make her cheek look full. I tried to render it for hours and it sucked regardless. Can't say that I didn't like the process, but after so much time spent polishing turd, I couldn't bring myself to finish the ear, I want to finally work on something else.
