Such subtle skin tone changes and smooth transitions. Fab, just absolutely fab. I'm a tad jealous right now. Must improve...must improve...must improve...
But what can I say that has not been already been said? I saw this and knew exactly what it was, it is amazing! And youre not even done. This is tight work, no da! I still can't get over the skin... *pokes screen* It looks so real! >.<
Ooh! I remember you saying you thought she was beautiful, and that you liked her lips.. lol. This is soo amazing. Wish I could do ppl that well. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! (Really you know I luv ya) this is great!
The background looks so slapped together, while the rest of the picture looks amazing. It'd look a lot nicer with a solid background, or at least lines that make sense with the feeling/lighting of the picture. It kinda seems like rain, but it's a little too smooth for that, and she's not wet...
I think that the BG should be pale next to the subject. This way, the Hair almost blends in, in fact, the littlr hair stands do. But I do like the movment feeling of it. It is truly, as I said, tight work no da!! Saikyo!!! (awsome)
I think Pix composed this picture perfectly, I was so "pixated" (lol) by the main subject, I didn't even notice if it HAD a background or not - had to scroll back up and look after I saw the comment. Anything more in depth would take away from the subject, and he wouldn't want it to do that. And I WOULD judge it as the very best work done on this site (that I have seen, anyway). You can even see the 'peach fuzz' on her chin and upper lip! It's photo quality work.
heh..its definately photo quality. duh! but the best work on this site? hardly! as far as copying a picture its almost perfect. but i so much more admire original subject matter. good job pix.
Just like to say very nice portrait.The only thing I'd change about the pic is the thick dark lines in her hair looks a little fake and that with a little more time put into the picture you could make single strands of hair rather than a thick plastic clump of hair.Otherwise good job(I wouldn't know what to say about the BG since I have no clue so I'll leave that to everyone else to critique).
Amazing. So cool, she's so pretty (when she doesn't look like a heroin addict, am I right?). I like the flesh tones, the structure. I really like the neck hair too. I wanna see more.
As far as the best work on this site goes, I was referring to portrait art, which can't be completely original - you are depicting a person that already exists. And of course, that is my opinion, but it remains my opinion that it is the best I have seen. Anyone argues it and I'll just get back on here and repeat myself. :P
I think that 'best work on this site' is taking it way too far. Not even best portrait... Just because it is a portrait of someone doesn't mean you can't be original. Copying it so it looks just like the photo doesn't involve any creativity, just patience.
Okay, If I'm just kissing a$$ and the guy has absolutely no talent at all... he just *copied* a photo, then everybody pick a well-known human subject and reproduce it that well. Come on yall, it doesn't require talent or creativity... it'll be easy. You first, Icats. ;) Oh yeah, and I promised to repeat myself. In my opinion, it is the best portrait art I have seen on this site so far.
First Marcello told me that I was not good enough to post in Advanced, now he thinks the "background" sucks... I wonder how do you call 'it' in english, but it is not constructive criticism...
Okay first of all Miss "Icatty" I didn't go wrong. LOL And I read Marcello's comments, one of them says *the rest of the pic is amazing* and he doesn't dole out compliments regularly that I have noticed. I'd take that and stick it in my back pocket and sit on it for a while if I were you, Pix! LOL
you know I have asked others to look at this and they simply say " oh thats pretty" aand then I tell them this guy from Brazil drew it, they gasp and look again! then I tell them he says he just doodles and get s "pffft"
You are so amazing pix i am privilidged to have met you! It looks loke a photograph it is so perfect! i wish u could share these pics to Angelina and nicole! They would buy them, i am sure! have you ever thought of doing beyonce or michele pfiffer? They are particularly beautiful I think.
I really don't get why there's so much controversy surrounding this picture, and why people are assaulting each other over opinions... just seems a little odd...
Anyways, I really think this is an awesome piece, and as every other person has mentioned before, it really does look very realistic, and the shading on her cheek really gives it dimension.
This picture alone makes me want to get back into drawing.. People are amazing. And pix, you are one of them and thanks for the awsome eye candy!!!! I'd buy this painting from ya if I could afford it :D
Wow Pix, this is really stupendous!! I think if the police had composite artists like you there'd be a lot more bad guys behind bars! Excellent, just excellent, can't say enough about it. All that talent wrapped in the mind and fingertips of one person.. amazing.
OOH MY WORD THAT PIC RULES THE WORLD!!!!!!! NIFTEY!!!I WANT TO DRAW JUST LIKE YOU!!! HOW DID YOU GET SO GOOD? you probrobly practiced a ton! that just shows you what a little hard work can do. (:
I really like the way this picture's "lighting" is... It makes it look so detailed. I can tell a lot of time and patience went into this. A+!
I liked looking at the steps of the process. That blue color behind one of images on the link you provided might give it a better background, maybe?
NYAAAAH! looks just like Mrs. Gren n_n ugh... yeah, in the science lab at my school theres a lifesized poster of Lara with different 'life processes' labling various parts of her body XD LOL, so yeah. Lara IS Mrs Gren. n_n; whatever. this is gorgeous!
wow this look just like Angelina Jolie wow its soo soooo amazing wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great job and the background is so kool u dont need 2 change it or anything!!!!!! perfect !!!!!!!!!!
this is truely amazing and I totally disagree with ...is it marchelo or something?....I love the contrast of the background and the realism of the picture. I think had you not done that it would be hard to prove you actually drew this it is sooooooooooooo real. I am new here and I am totally in awe of the talent that abounds. Thanks for sharing.
Well, this is very good. However... I would like to see more than just an exact copy of a person from a photo. Perhaps try to combine a few references to make it more.. unique?
wowowow... soo great :D Great work on the face, love the hair!! it looks so real, yet it still has the art feeling to it that makes it even better. Well done!
