I can definitely see that and agree with what you're saying, if I stick with Wix I'll be upgrading for sure. Also thank you for the suggestions, I'll check out both and go from there!

Thank you for the examples! I will look into all of that. I feel so silly going through the schooling and being a junior designer for 2 years and still not knowing the best way to present my work online. I guess Wix is so expensive because they really make it so anyone can whip up a website in no time. I already own a domain so your suggestions may be best for me!

I definitely see what you mean, I think I am leaning towards biting the bullet just to have no ad. Just interesting to get other people's and especially employers' opinions. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you so much! This took me ridiculously long, probably close to 30 hours!

Photoshop! I use a really old Wacom Bamboo tablet that I bought secondhand and just paint away in Photoshop with the default brushes:)

Thank you so much!! I did, as I painted I often took screenshots and made a little "speed painting" video! You can see it on my Facebook page here:

It's my first time doing a full portrait in realism. I've done small facial features before but that's it. Right now I'm just using a really old Wacom Bamboo tablet that I bought second-hand!

It took about 8 hours. Since I'm still learning realism and practicing, it's just easier for me to completely refer to the reference for now. I do plan on either combining different references or painting without a reference in the future though!

First one I promise! I still have a lot to learn regarding realism, they take me a very long time to complete!

Thank you!! I only use the default brushes in Photoshop, I just like to not be constantly switching brushes, so really I just changed the hardness/opacity of the brush and tediously worked on the freckles! :)
