Training and relaxing speedpainting time with the Mirror feature of Krita , and doing a bit of brush creation on the way.

Really cool, all of them. Like the eyes on the last one and third one especially.

I like the second and last one the most. Maybe you should disable symmetry at end to break it a bit.

I think Jose Conseco is right. these kind of paintings seem always to be too perfect. maybe for the placement of the highligts that doesnt mirror correctly. But i understand Deevad purpose as a warmup, sure he is aware of those details. I like specially the "short" values gamma. a point to work for me, i tenf to use all the range from bright to dark. nice finished look, and better for printing.

great work! for a warm up session is outstanding. The mirror nature makes almost all portraits look odd. But the soft contrast few values choice helps to diminish that awkwardness.
