Thanks everybody!

Frootcake: I could try out shi. I'll do my next painting in that. I'm a children's book illustrator,
and my agency needed a painting of a 5 yr. old girl, shoulders up for an ad. And I procrastinated
too much and the deadline was yesterday! I figured I could do a quick painting here.
So, I needed it to shrink down to 300dpi for print (that's why its so huge).

All your comments are reassuring, because I was afraid this wouldnt cut it.... looking
at it now I can see that the hair kinda sucks, but oh well.

so what if the only reason why i drew a flower was because you told me to.

i revised it....just a little bit, but nobody will probably notice.......since nobody has really commented on this stupid picture!!!

Wild_Mustang_Girl312 (May 6, 2006)

You two are so weird.... I don't like flowers....but like the green backround.

Artiste (May 6, 2006)

I like flowers, and I like this flower very much! I think the colors you picked are beautiful!

New here. Would welcome advice on the hair. Used the blender and set the opacity low, but it still looks really fake.

I reworked the hair and it looks more natural now I think. I didn't realize you could go back into a "finished" drawing.

tandrew971 (Apr 20, 2006)

i really like that about this site..being able to go and fix something even after its finished. the hair looks great (as does the rest)

Meno (Mar 7, 2008)

Whaddaya talkin' 'bout? I like the hair .... like golden strands of wheat.

QTgillie (Jun 23, 2009)

a quiet pose, please keep in mind I have not done portraits for some time

Airin: dont be afraid to ruin the artwork by adding dark colors where you feel they belong. Your colors are very very light and tentative.
It looks as though you dont want to lay anything too definitive down for fear that you might ruinn the peice. I almost never paint on a pure
white canvas, and almost always start with the darker areas. It looks like youve started from the lights.

Make big broad strokes to define what you see... and dont be tentative... dont worry if you ruin it, you can always start over.

Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2006)

my first guess would be Gwyneth Paltrow...nice start!

Airin (edited Apr 3, 2006)

Yes, it's Gwyneth, not 100% true to the ref though. There are quite a few areas where i should've used darker overall tones, but it would be very difficult for me to blend that in without changing the entire picture. The eyes for instance are cast in much more shadow than i used.

Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2006)

yeah!! I knew it! It was obvious to me, great draw! keep goin!

One word: wow. It's absolutely amazing. Awesome. I love the lips and.. well just about everything XD

Roxana1890 (Jun 21, 2008)

extremely great likeness.

saidenlalinda (Sep 30, 2010)

the colours used are phenomenal..the lips and eyes..I have tried to pain this woman's face along with others, but hers the most and I have yet to ger all her facial feature correct...so I enjoy looking at this..the only thing I would stay to tune up some..would be the hair , needs a little definition..but that is me of course, you are your own artist and for you this maybe finished. But this is phenomenal! pardon my mispellings.

madscientist111 (Sep 30, 2010)

Beautiful draw! Very well done!

I like the skin texture you added. I like his wrinkles, too.... people with wrinkles are intresting to draw. It's like, all their life experiences and feelings and whatever are written on their faces.

Sweetcell (Apr 4, 2006)

I think you can be a believer of both, and I am. Being Roman Catholic myself I learned about His creation and evolution, and it's funny it seemed easy for me to blend the two, meld it if you will. I believe He exists and created the Earth and everything around us, but I also believe in the Big Bang and evolution... hmmmm maybe that makes me a bit by-polar. That would explain things.

You can have Creation and Evolution, I believe it. Maybe someone just needs to find the middle where both fits.

Awesome piece Opium, love that hair. He does look tired.....

gerbear (Apr 5, 2006)

Excellent portrait! Very impressed with it.

Opium (Apr 5, 2006)

Thanks Marcello, patience, sweetcell, and gerbear! :)
