Wow this peice is amazing! no wonder it got a DD! just curious what were the different layers for if you can remember? lol

jespecially In reply to Tayaspirits [2010-07-30 04:18:58 +0000 UTC]

yeah i actually still have the PSD.
I did..her entire skin one layer, the front half of her hair on one (the bangs down and right half her hair closest to the camera), and the back of hair on another, her tattoo on one, and shirt on another.
SO Five totalllll.

jespecially In reply to jespecially [2010-07-30 04:23:35 +0000 UTC]

ah I hope that makes sense.. it was layered like..
front hair
tattoo
shirt
skin (on this layer it was actually everything..chest, skin, arm, make up, eyes, lips.)
back hair.

you can't see it.. but I actually drew in the other eye and its make up-- because i did the body layer first.. and was pissed when i realized the hair was going to cover it all up. so she has two eyes.

deviantart has some AMAZING tutorials.
its not hard at all. I learned by using tutorials - but eventually you find your own way :/ now I do some crazy weird way i'm trying to explain in words - but it just doesn't come out that easy.

32-teahousemoons In reply to jespecially [2010-07-30 07:52:36 +0000 UTC]

hm, would it be explained better in a video tutorial? all the vectoring tutorials on youtube are extremely dry with lots of time lapsing (I can't really blame them, haha...) but they don't seem to provide a lot of detail on how the tools can work or offer ideas on different ways to keep breaking off pen tool lines :/

there are tons and tons of tutorials...but there are few that have artists as good as you demonstrating them XD

you are sweeter than honey itself. I'll definately try to give my a go - i let my bestie see it and she was confused so I am going to have to rework it. But I will definately try.

This picture gives me the urge to go style my hair to have it as smooth and silky as this. Nojoke.

I have strange impulses, don't mind me ~

Mmmm, I love those colors. They blend so well together. You really deserve the DD, this is an intricate and amazing picture. *3* My eyes, they are happy. ;w;
