My attempt at a realistic pictire of the actress Katie Leung

reference: http://katieleung.eclipsedsuicide.net/gallcandid.php first pic on top

Blegh I wish this came out better than it did. It was really hard to do because the picture was taken at a bad angle and I'm not good at realistic images. She looks all fat and ugly and stuff...I wish I didn't use the dodge and burn on her jacket >_<

Meh, I dunno if anyone will like this...but tips are really really appreciated.

S'ok. Good ideas but you kinda need to lighten-up on the blur tool...actually, you need to really lighten up on it. Don't get me wrong; considering you only have a mouse(right?) and you've only been drawing oekaki for a little while, this is a good shot. Not only that, your young: for many people it takes years of practice to do anything realistic. I've been drawing since I was...I don't honestly know...anyway, I still have the frickin' hardest time trying to draw realistically. Okay then...I geuss that's all I have to say. Oh wait, who's Katie Leung?

Yea, I use blur too much on the hair eyes and nose ^^;;. But no, I use a tablet. I'm not able to do anything with a mouse. And I've been doing oekaki since I was like 8 or 9, but stopped after a while, though I still did computer drawings. Yea, realistically does take alot of years, and I don't really try to do it but lately I've just been trying it out. Oh and Katie Leung is an actress. She'll be in the next Harry Potter film as Cho Chang. Yup...and thanks for the comment.
