Fragments - Lips

Study and teaser for my upcoming portrait. I started from a poor quality photo, and tried to fetch as much details as I could, and gather them as harmoniously as I could. The aim is to train to work from provided poor references, making them more lively in a natural way. It was also the occasion to go further with skin texture.
