I'm still trying to figure out a way to make these look more impressionist. Somehow they always end up too smooth. Not that it's a bad thing, but I really want to figure out how to make them look painted.

I do think all those studies I've been doing lately have been very helpful. I'm going to try to do some more because they teach me more than anything else.

This turned out a little more platonic than what I usually draw, but oh well. xD That wasn't intentional; it just sort of happened.
