This is my first attempt to actually "paint" in photoshop. I've been working on it for a bit over 2 hours now..
as you can see I've used a reference pick.

it's still very unfinished, but I thought you would like to see it

oh, and it's done with a mouse

Not bad at all, you may want to pay more attention to the features of her face, lips etc. Also maybe soften up her skin... looking good though.

hey not bad at all so far.. I agree with neebhore pay more attention to the features themselves.

great start tho.

Thanks.. I updated the update =)
I worked a bit on the lips and other details..
but it still needs a lot of work..

Hey, lookin good. The lips look cut and paste, though. don't forget to add a highlight along the top right edge of them and a shadow all along the bottom as the source picture shows.

Oh yes, the lips look much better now. The shding on the neck could do with softening?

It�s a nice pic you�ve chosen...and the girl is cute too...

I like photorealism, so keep up the good work! Mind if I have a go at this pic too?

Spiraleye :The lips look cut and paste, though... what do you mean by that?
that the lips don't fit in smoothly?

sweedberg: be my guest.. maybe I could learn a bit from your work then

I updated the update again

nice job, Yo!! However a couple of things: the original's nose bone is a little wider (affects your painting a lot) and her left eye on your painting (our right) has the wrong shape - the upper eye-lid should go down when it comes to the left side (our)
and it should go a little above and farther to the left than the lower lid...otherwise its cool!!!

I realy like the pic, especialy if you look at the progress you made between the 2 versions.
just a few ideas:
1. ad a darker shade to the right of her nose, just beneeth it. If you look at the original you'll see what I mean
2. the same goes for the right side of her chin. just shade a little darker.

Don't get me wrong. this is the first time i post here, without even having posted some of my own work.
If I could be at your level, i would be glad!
these are just objective tips, nothing more.
