Description A digital portrait of Chinese actress, Michelle Yip (Yip Suen) as her character in the series 'World's Finest'.
I myself haven't watched this series but I love how her character looks and how she disguises as a guy (as seen here wearing a male-style hanfu + hairstyle). Here's the reference I used: the little picture on the left - [link]

I just wanted to make something I was happy with before I return here.

You can feel the night! Really is awesome, at the beggining this one looks like a photo
The pic is a kinda blurred, but that is part of the effect... and the face of the actress has a special expression, is hard to describe the feeling o.o
Anyway Let me congrat you for the excellent digital portrait

Hey there A-eX! Wow, thankyou so much for all your kind words...
lol...I need a lot more practice before I can make a sharp-looking portrait. But thanks again for the encouragement!

Adept-eX In reply to CarinaT [2007-03-22 14:34:18 +0000 UTC]

Nya... no problem
But comparing with your previous portraits you show a improvement...
and sharp-looking, well, I suggest than you do your portrait in a big size and then you resize to a smaller size (I do that with my artworks)... in that way the resolution is better and the little blurs are less visible

How? The detail is more so than even CGI.
I'd love to observe you work sometime, the detail is insane.
You have me awed

The detail here is clumsy compared to some of the really great portraits on DA - which I hope to improve on! But gosh, thankyou so much for your encouraging comments pal!

Sunnybrook1 [2007-03-16 04:03:43 +0000 UTC]

Wow, still as gorgeous and realistic as ever! The hair especially - you really put a lot into the little details, and it shows.

My only critique would be the ears - somehow they seem off....not sure if it's the color or the inside shape. Then again I couldn't accurately draw an ear without a reference to save my life, and even with a reference it'd still look pretty bad.

CarinaT In reply to Sunnybrook1 [2007-03-16 04:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou so much, Sunny!

lol! Yea, I've recieved comments about the ear looking weird...and I've changed it once since then.
Don't you just hate it when you know something's wrong but you don't know what to do about it?

Anyway, I really appreciate your comments pal!

It seemed to be a photo when I see it at first. I couldn't believe it's drawn before I saw the full view! You also can draw real persons as good as anime characters. Very well done!
By the way: Thank you for coming back! I hope you will draw even more good picture.

taiyoukousen [2007-03-04 09:51:07 +0000 UTC]

Carina! You're back! Thought dA got the best of you o.O

Ok, so lets start about things I love:
FACE, EXPRESSION, HUES. I think the choice of a darker, hazy background adds a lot of mystery into this piece. I really loved how you drew Yip Suen's expression. It looks so gentle and serene. Once again your highly experienced talent at drawing the delicate follicles of hair really shine out immensely added with the lighting on Suen's side (of face). About your hues: you matched your colors well, and there really isn't much to complain about on your Digital portrait

However, for every piece there can be one thing atleast to be suggested. The only thing I could suggest is adding a little light to her eyes and maybe a little more lighting on her lip to make it more glarry and make it a more rounder, realistic lip. But this can be more overlooked than let's suppose the reference for the bright lighting on the side of her face. Perhaps you could add more lighter tones for the moonlight background. This might be done by using a light shade of blue *preferably the one you used on her face* and putting parts of it on the background to the left of her. (Or maybe just make that background lighter?) I don't know, but these are simply minor technical details. If you'd like to keep it it's fine, because it is much easier seeing ahead of this ^___^

Hope this Advanced Critique helped a bit or that it isn't too harsh or anything :\
