Description digital painting! you just hafta full view !!!

well, I'm kind of speechless...I can't beleive how well this turned out.
I've been studying digital painting for a bit, and I think it finally clicked
I am soooooo happy about that!

I could be happier with the hair, but I just couldn't bother with it anymore,
this was all painted in a single layer, but the hair i did on two seperate layers, one for lower color and one for strands, I did that so i wouldn't screw up the rest of the painting. I used a lil' pic from maxim mag as a reference.. even thought i'm not a shakira fan, I thought she look really hot here.

... man... my hand feels like it was run over by a train, I'm not used to five straight hours of painting... yowza, but I will absolutely be doing more of this...

I am a Shakira fan and this peice really captures her at her best. What that is is hard to put a finger one, but in a good way. Anyways, you did a spectacular job!

You pansy, 5 hrs is nothing - I used to paint for 21 hours in a row some days (yay insomnia). It's a great painting though, very impressive! Well done! The face and hair still need work, but overall, very good!

Just why, oh why, did you have to choose a shitty pop icon to paint? Lots of prettier girls out there

haha touche, something about that get-up she's wearing, i was drooling and she started talking to me..
she said 'you wouldn't mind staring at me for 5 hours would ya"
haha, thanks mate yeah the hair pisses me off, but I'm gonna swim on instead of tread water, know what i mean, heh,heh
i'll come back and get the hair again when i figure it out better.

Very nice mate. I'm really liking this piece. It's great, especially for a first time digital painting. I, myself have been workign with it, though not to much avail. I especially love the detail you put into her clothing. It looks almost exactly as it does in the issue of Maxim. *compares to the mag. in my hands* yep, looks really good. Keep up the good work my friend!
