When the tape comes off and it is once again clear that this is a grocery bag. I may be quoting from the Byzantine and Baroque but I am operating in a post-industrial, late-capitalist, periapocalyptic hell where the groceries are more dear than what I do with the bags.
Almost done with this

Almost done with this. I realised in the course of this that the way I was working with the reference photos was sabotaging how I was seeing things and I came up with a better way to look at the reference. But that's for the next study.
Bonus game: spot the cat.

Just a few stabs at the glove this morning. Not a lot of time this morning.

One of those work things that pleases me more than it should. This is the context navigation that shows up under an artwork when browsing our collection website. It used to show the first five artworks in the collection and a "4420 More link" regardless of what was being looked at and it has irked me for years. Now it actually has context and I am unreasonably pleased with it. ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

I'm happy enough with the face at the moment to move on to the remaining details to the right, the stole and the glove. I wonder if you can spot what changed on the face from yesterday?
Getting there

Getting there. All I can see is what I need to tweak but I'll refrain from listing off what needs work.
