I don't think I like photo texturing much, neither in 3d nor in 2d. Obviously the reason I'm bad at it now is lack of practice, but honestly, I don't like the whole concept. It feels very backwards. So here's the start of texturing experiment number 3: brows, lips, her right cheek and the right side of her nose are hand-painted, the lashes are procedural, the rest is just one plain color. So far this is by far the most satisfying and least tedious method. I mean for Pablo's sake, I've been able to do a reasonably realistic portrait in pencil or gouache forty years ago as a teenager if I just put in the time and patience (which did not happen very often, but I'm older and less easily bored now).
