2-inch clay doll

I could have made this doll simpler.  But I have been practicing scultping realistic faces.  So I am used to doing refined details for the facial features.  

Also, I prefer to make the mouth more realistic rather than the common practice of just adding a coil and dividing it into upper and lower lips.  Besides, I didn't draw a very clear definition of the lips as I think that would make the doll look older.

My first tole painting with oil paint

My first oil painting took me a couple of months to finish, partly because I had to wait for a couple of days for each layer to dry. Also, I kept digressed to other commitments.
But frankly, I prefer to paint with acrylic paints as I like to practice techniques such as side-loading and double-loading which are hardly applicable in oil painting.
Having said that, I still love this painting as it is from one of my favorite Japanese tole painting masters who is renowned for painting perfume bottles.
