Description I have always thought that my cousin Katie is one of the most beautiful people I have ever and will ever see. She gave me permission to paint her, and here she is.

I tried some different techniques this time. First I did very exaggerated textures and then I did a new layer with a Gaussian blur to soften it all. I like the look.

Hand painted, this is not a photo manipulation.

EDIT: Moved to scraps because I don't think it's good enough to be in my main gallery.

Yeah I was gonna say I really like the mild textures in there. You're not trying too hard to say "I'm a painting". Looks beautiful.

It looks very beautiful, both your model and your work. What I personally think its missing is a back light to give a bit of glow on the hair and a rim of reflected light around the head. You have a great eye for skin tones and the skin texture looks very nice. Great work!

Yeah, I did sneak in some rim lighting on her face but it's very very subtle but I could see how that would make it pop more. I usually do have some side lighting of some sort.

Thanks.

Your cousin is indeed very pretty And your skills make it look like a photograph almost... It kinda sad, however, that every good artist has to put that in their artist's comments these days

I do like the textures of her skin, and the veins in her eyes. Makes it look very realistic!
