the feeling that there is a liquid inside the cup is done very well only the smoke coming out is missing, the signs under the cup give that extra touch, let's not forget the hand holding it seems trivial but you have to look carefully to notice some details that added to the totality of the figure make the difference between a good piece and an excellent one, I will never tire of repeating it .... the details remember the details
Lovely work. I notice that you blocked in the light and shade areas on the face. How do you then blend these together and are you using oils or acrylics?
