/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Here is my attempt. I didn't just copied one of her pieces because that doesn't means much. I also tried her hairbrush technique even though I prefer hard round brush and bw underpainting.
These were my rules
-Under 1.5 hours (the time she takes to make most of her portraits)
-No thumbs (I always thumbnail)
-No reference (I'm like a cripple without ref)
-No underdrawing

It is obviously very amateurish and not as good. The proportions are off and the composition too stiff. I even ran out of time for the background. I think I'm still 3-4 hours away from calling it done. Also she doesn't has pupils because that's her how her character looks (Shirayuki Mizore)

But I'll sleep well knowing that I'll NEVER EVER be a shitposter who can only criticize instead of actually trying to paint.


I think that with enough time and dedication one could achieve her level in like a year, but what blows my mind the most is her speed. She is fast as shit.
