Description I was inspired to make a 3-piece on the same subject.
As eyes have always been my favorite subject to draw, it's no surprise I chose them as my subject - yet again.
I kinda like it now, but it might be scrapped later.
The end result is not as catchy as I tought it would be when I started... Or maybe I just have been looking at it for too long.

Tools: Illustrator CS2
Time: about 5 hours

some lashes do cross at one point. I'm actually quite glad with how the eyes worked out. The shape looks exactly like the picture.
But you are right about her hair. It's so hard to make someone with black hair look natural, without adding tons and tons of shines...

A rather hairy thing. You should fix it by putting more fine hairs at the hair line and else or clean it up instead.

A closeup of a womans eye is styled in some ways. Either they are sticking together because of the make up wich is used, they are trimmed or they have a natural beauty appearance but everytime somehow in shape.
Over here it looks more like they are growing uncontrolled like the eyebrowns of an old man.

If they would stick together like those trash look photos some hairs should cross at one poin.

who wouldn't ! she's so hot!!!!

no, but it's not her. You can see the picture I used on my favs (I always put references from dA in my favorites. It's fun to see, when I go see my own page, when my deviation and the stock pic are up on my frontpage at the same time )

great stuff, the hair and eyelashes look great the skin needs to have a slower transition from light to dark i think tho (more layers). Apart from that looks fabulon!

Keep up the great work!

thank you

I know the skin above the eyebrows in the first 2 frames is too dark, but I couldn't find which blend was responsible for it. I spent over an hour shoving all my blends around, making them invisible, but I just didn't find it!!

hmm, maybe, if you have a bit of time left, I could e-mail you the AI file, and maybe you can look if you find it? Don't feel pressured tough, if you don't feel like it, that's ok we're all pretty busy in our lives.

apparantly, I have a nature for drawing hair Mayyyyyybe I should try vectorising an animal... hmmm ... Horses have pretty hair...

aLiTaBlondeGoth In reply to fade319 [2006-12-29 21:32:22 +0000 UTC]

neither do I

in my favs, there's a tutorial on using the blend tool (actually it's about realistically vectorizing people, but it has a topic on the blending tool), and I never used the mesh tool, acutally

Agree not to use any fancy tools on the collab piece?
