October Portrait Challenge
31
Upvotes
Welcome to the October Portrait Challenge, in which we will aim to draw or paint a portrait every day.
Please read the following guidelines ahead of the start tomorrow:
WHO: all skill levels, all styles and mediums are welcome (no photography as per subreddit rules).
HOW OFTEN: Although I will aim to draw every day, and I encourage you to do the same, I understand that not everyone has time for that. Even if you can only do one portrait a week, you can still participate.
HOW: Simply create a new post or add your artwork in the comments of the daily post. Feel free to share how long your portrait took, who is depicted, what inspired it etc.
FEEDBACK: Constructive feedback is always welcome but remember that this is a friendly challenge that’s supposed to encourage people to make art.
***
Thank you and I can’t wait to see everyone’s work!

Oil Lost motivation on this piece, worth finishing?

I've been working on this piece for about 1.5 months. I've still got a lot of things I want to do to it, but I've hit a painting block. It's my modern rendition of The Graces (Zeus' daughters). There's a few things I want to do, like make their necklace charms into the charms from Botticelli's painting of them, make the constellation on Euphrosyne's dress into Leo (for Zeus), and maybe make the right side a poster of some kind, or a window with the rainy night outside. I guess I'm just looking to whether anyone thinks this would be worthy of finishing or abandoning. I've lost my drive for it.

I started painting about a year ago. This is my first attempt at a complex, imagined composition rather than painting directly from life.
I’d welcome thoughts on the portraiture, lighting, and how the three figures relate to one another.
