Hahnemuehle Durer, 11" x 8".

this is an imaginary face, made through progressive changes in the face of a former model.

i was not working toward any ideal, but just accepted any changes that looked like improvements.

i also tried compositing or combining photographs of many models, all viewed frontally, to understand the underlying keys to a beautiful female face.

Didn't see this before....I totally dig that formula for the skintones, I think this is the best yet and worthy of much future utilization (particularly how you've orchestrated the tones in the arms, hands, and knees). Bravo sir, patent it....now.
