You have the hair and the skin spot on...though I hope you'll work more on the eyes. They look too artificial, unless that's how you're meaning them to be, otherwise they need a bit of work. Most problems I see when people do realism is they make the eyes too almond shaped. This is not how eyes are shaped at all, even in oriental races as the eyes will always have more of a leaf-like shape to them. The best example I can give you to show you what I mean is here: http://www.design.iastate.edu/LABS/tutorials/illustrator/images/ai0002-almost.gif Note how the area closest to the nose raises upwards a bit while the corner closest to the ear dips downward. I hope this helps some, I'm not one for critisism much but you're doing sooooo good so far I'd thought I'd help out a bit. =D Hope I wasn't intruding too much. ~Peace
Such a pretty girl Whoopsie, and good advice from Everdream to make it even better. I think other than the things she suggested for the eyes.. one thing would be make the light spots in them really bright. Since they're reflecting light they should be the lightest color in the picture. Wonderful picture by the way :)
okies...i think i kinda like this one where it's at...thank you for your tips on eyes everdream...ill be practicing :D this should be moved to intermediate...sorry...
Nice pic....My tips are as follows .........Try to avoid the use of Black esp when doing shadows...for example underneath her chin.....we dont walk around with black lines under our chins do we ....if u know what i mean lol....secondly about eyes .........Many people inc myself at one time used to have this fixed image of an eye and translated this paper,i can give yer this much advice,dont concentrate too much on the eyelashes etc focus on the eye itself then build around it,taking care in noticing how the eye sits and how the lids shape around it ,Get a feel for the eye,imagine it opening and closing i know this sounds weird but it works for me.Your skin tones are nice :)
