Description Thought id give photo realistic painting a go, mainly to see if I could and to try and improve my digital painting technique. I drew this from scratch using a digital photo for reference,it isn't really finished I could have spent a lot more time on it, but as it was only an exercise and I proved to myself I could I'm happy to leave it as it is.

Comments welcome

So soft and elegant. I love the shading its perfect, my only negative point is the watermark. DA's watermark is reallt terrible, I'd advise you to make your own one

Hey, thank you , appreciate your kind words , yeah I agree about the watermark, that image is quite old , I have since made my own more discrete watermark, I will have to get round to adding it to my older works, thanks again

Lovely work! The skintone is fantastic, and I particularly like the detail of the eye make-up, like the shine and lashes.

Spinewinder In reply to Ashley-Q [2009-10-11 02:35:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Im not sure if she looks a little too shiny almost plastic, think it could maybe do with a tad more texture. It was a practice really so Im not going to fret over it too much though. Cheers for your comments, appreciate it

You've got a very keen eye, this looks incredible! I think you've proved here that your photorealist technique is very strong. I'd love to see it applied in full!
