From the Artist: This was nothing but experimenting! Using gouache was quite challenging! Adding ink and coloured pencil made for some interesting, and often undesirable, results. And to top it off, I tried my hand at doing the human figure, and realistic skin. If you can tell it's a human, then I guess my first try wasn't a total bust.
From the Painting Guide: I can tell it's a human figure, so it's not a total bust. It's not one that's going to win any prizes other than the one you should award yourself for painting it. Realistic figures are quite a challenge, partly because we think of them as one thing ("a figure") and forget how many components there are.
