eek. you're getting better too damn quickly. I'm jealous. *pouts*
love the eyes. totally. is it actually, you know, biologically possible for a person to have violet eyes?

Yay! you're back!
I'm not sure if it is biologically possible for violet eyes... I'm suppose I'm just fond of interesting eye colours because I take inspiration from anime.

yeah... anime eye and hair colours are just WEIRD.
I saw a guy once on the street, he'd dyed his hair white. it really REALLY suited him.

Wow. White hair! As far as anime hair/eyes go, I'll admit to being fond of yellow eyes.

Anime definitely beautifies people. It's not a great style to use when you're trying to draw someone who isn't beautiful, or flawless, and not make them look ugly.

I know - that's why I've tried to break from my anime origins.

I still watch them. but I guess if I wouldn't be able to happily criticize the crap out of them considering plotholes and impossibles and continuity and whatnot, I'd get bored quickly...

I agree there! For all the weirdness and occasional frustrating aspects, anime is great.

I guess the shading I've done is too subtle to really be seen... Doubt I'll go back to this pic, though.

I coloured this during the four weeks my Internet died, so I had a lot of time to try and make it good.

Nicely done. However, the fact that the shirt and all isn't shaded, sort of detracts from the overal piece. It makes it look imcomplete. Her hair and eyes are marvelous.

The hair and eyes (and skin) were where the main energy went... There is shading on the top, but I guess it's too subtle to see.

You've done well with the main points. It's good prectice, I suppose.

where is her lipsick and spiked colar?
I wonder whether you should try acrylic paints again. I just have a feeling that they might be more of a pragmatic chpice, especially on large headshot-like pieces.

erm... lipSICK? that's an interesting typo!
Hmm... I'd never really though about trying the acrylic paints again. They were one of my preferred media in art at school and I was reasonably competent with them. I don't get on with watercolour or normal paint so maybe I could try it...

many pros use paints. so there must be something in them.

yes. one day I will be pro!

Good stuff!
How in the world do you do the skin tones without making them so darn blotchy? Thats been giving me a mondo headache lately!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The skin tones here was a complete pain... to get it looking smooth, I used a combinated of the smudge and blur (very sparingly though) tools and also used a very transparent skin shade over the skin area at the end.

There is a drawing i have been obsessing on trying to get the skin colors to look like skin instead of stripey plastic. GRRR it's kicking my butt!
Smudge and blur and the extra transparent layer of skin tones...back to the drawing board..err computer. Thank you L-B!

Skin's gonna look like shiney plastic unless you smudge^^

Hair took a long time. Actually, it all took a long time!

Thanks! They took WAY too long to do!

I frickin' love her hair and eyes. How long did this take in PS?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you appreciate the hair and eyes! They took forever-- though the skin was the biggest pain. I can't say for sure how long this took over PS, but it was a really long time across several days... One eye alone took all morning, and the skin much longer.

I can imagine the skin would of taken a long time. Jeeeze. It was well woth it at the end though babe~ I can well believe that eye would take a long time. It looks very good.
