She looks like the girl next door maybe? Kind of pretty. I checked our her earlier shots and they were even nicer. In a way, that makes the painting a greater challenge.

The most recent mugshots.  I thought this would be so fun, but it's kinda hard. I'm choosing subjects that are within a certain criteria. I want to practice faces of people that I might see in everyday life. The guy is kind of dangerous looking, but I think there's more... The woman looks a little stoned and a little defiant.
