Description
Uruha of Gazette (male, that's right. MALE)I knew from the moment I saw the original photo, I had to do it myself. It was just so...so bright and elegant and gosh-darn pretty! So it's a step back from my other darker Jrock portraits.
I spent a lot of time nit-picking it, and the details drove me nuts.
Ee! I think I finally found the secret to this whole portrait deal, the problems I had before was I smudged too much instead of keeping some of the lines bold, like it should be. Example, the lips (ohh, look at the dewyness xD), keeping a crisp edge is key and knowing when to just stop.
Image Reference: (here)
Just me, Adobe Photoshop Elements and my mouse for hours and hours. (Oh my God the hair was murder ._.)

Hehe, I don't like when that happens to me either, I'm like "Whoa...I haven't been watching you all this time?!" So I try to get to them right when they watch me, less mix up that way.

WOW O.O i love it....you really nailed his lips.....Uruha has very strong curvatures in his lips....you did brilliant work...the details and the colors work so well together...but I really like your strong use of textures throughout the piece...The kimono looks like a photo..but the bg umbrella has a very strong painted feel to it...overall one of the best portraits i've ever seen of him. great work

He does! He has the most distinct pair of lips I think I've ever seen. *.* They're gorgeous and an absolutely delight to paint.
So thank you very much!
Aww, I appreciate it.
