Full body self portrait

Last night did a 3 hour painting of myself after having meet up with another TN member at our local clothes optional beach. Im usualy too lazy a painter to spend much more than 40min or so, but I decided I wanted to test myself to see where I was at with rendering. I realized that my anatomy is usaly a bit sloppy, spending several hours alowed me to see more precisely the forms under the skin to capture nuances that I normaly gloss over. There are still things to be done better here, The one that bothers me the most is that the lower hand is kind of odd, the fingers look like a paper fork to me. Im not too good with hair either. If I understood anatomy better I could have done this in half the time beacuse I would have known where to pet the brush strokes to sculpt the form corretly. Instead I relied on progressivly refining areas with gradualy smaller brush size which gave it a slightly posterized look.

Was joking with somone that it looks simular to a WW2 pinup girl but with balls lol. Just need to print this out as a sticker.

edit: Image doesnt seem to stay attached for more than 2 days somtimes less. Have reattached 5 times or so now. The image will continue to be availible on my TN and JN profile if your viewing this and there is no picture.
