Special Pain Blues (Raymond Patterson) 

Anybody can shout and holler,
It takes a special pain to sing the blues.

I have wanted to “paint” (digitally) a face in flat illustration style. I had to figure it out on my own, and if making errors is the way to learn, you can say I learned a lot. I finally got there, though, and it’s not too bad! This was Day 6 of my current Challenge.
