Another nitpick, is the contour of her lashline on her left eye correct? It seems subtly different.

Bigger, are you in the process of matching the arms to the face in color and brush style, or will they remain different?

Some things about this are wonderful. The texture on the chair, the composition. The modeling of the shirt is really realistic, and I like the colors, which seem to soften the t-shirt notion to me (I'm an anti-tshirt person too). Also the likeness and skintones really are great - we nitpick around here to be helpful, not to be overly critical.

Not to push this point too far, but one thing that jumps out at me is that the girl doesn't seem to really be attached to the other things in the picture. Because the edges are so defined in acrylics, she doesn't seem to be integrated with her setting. The blending you're getting in the face is really good, but when it's coming up on previously painted areas the distinctions seem very harsh. Do you continue to soften those as you work along?

I really don't want to harp on this. I saw your other paintings and you're obviously a fine painter who's mastered a tricky medium. I'm really enjoying watching Hannah come along.
