Description Yes, I used a photo reference for this; you can find it here: [link]

I get the feeling I've learnt a fair bit about colour and tone in the last few weeks so I thought I'd test myself. Considering I used to have a lot of trouble getting people to look *human*, I'm really happy with the result. ^_^


-5 hours, Photoshop 7

I love the contrast on the skin tone and the back of the hoodie! Have you fooled around with the backround color a bit? In the picture it's a lot of high contrast too, and the mid-tone makes the neck line where her shirt meets her skin look funny, but that may just be me. Although a darker backround might muddle the hoodie. A gradient maybe? From light to dark to match the backround. Try it and see? But still really great regardless.

Dragonfly69x2 [2005-11-28 07:24:37 +0000 UTC]

Beautifully done! Ok, critique mode... The eye brow piercing is missing, but thats little. Um it so damn good its hard to critique it. hehe Ok, the fold or ripple in the collar of her shirt, the shadow is done a lil too defined, or too sharp... The lips seem too pursed, and the top lip seems a little pointy.. The shadow color on the cheek and neck are a little to blueishy color to me. The creese in her neck is missing.... lol im sorry, lil things catch my eye, those are the only things i noticed. I love this pic, excellent job on it.

rurounitriv [2005-04-16 21:01:37 +0000 UTC]

Very nice! About the only thing I can see that seems a little off is her right eye, which due to the shadowing doesn't look like it's as deeply-set as her left eye. But since that kind of thing could be just the lighting in the original pic, I can't say there's anything really wrong with it.

DragonKeeper333 [2005-01-27 20:16:05 +0000 UTC]

wow thats incredible. i couldnt get the original photoshot to load but regardless you drew the anatomy of the face really well. good body proportion and fabulous coloring. i also love how you got the realistic look of the hair. hair in general is hard to draw realistically with traditional art but coloring it digitally is even harder i imagine. so great job on this piece.

echostar119 [2004-11-17 06:46:42 +0000 UTC]

Ne ne ne, if you're really interested in learning realistic stuff then you should really take a look at a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"; it's SO USEFUL!! ^^ I don't think I could have done this without it. (btw, I love your new icon! It's so cute!)
