Hey. This is my first time, so be gentle



This was done completely in Painter. I think I had some problems in the face... What do you think?

That is a pretty nice pic. The problem with the face is that I think the ears are a little too low. The shading on it is a little odd too. There really shouldn't be any highlights on the forehead or underneath the eyes. I think you should probably go in with a darker shading actually.

Welcome to the forum.

I like it. I especially like the colors used in the background.

My only complain is about the lighting. Keep in mind facial structure...her cheek bones and various other areas arent illuminated [right word?] like they should be - more and less. Sorry I can't give an example of what I'm talking about...maybe someone can and will

I think you've got a beautiful picture here.

I would suggest getting rid of the dark line around her jaw and neck. Use shadow and highlight to define those areas. Also lighen up the nostril area, make it almost black or just blend it a little.

I mention this because you have a painting here, and those two lines make it look like a comic is poking out.

Wasup Chan *L* I didn't expect to see you here.
I'm gonna give yoou a tough C/C then *L*

as you pointed out her face is ok but the
high lights on her face looks weird. too much on her forhead indeed. the placement on her ear looks fine to me though.
upper lips needs to be more darker.where are the light source comin from?

the towel which she's wearing doesn't feel
like it has a body inside... if you just leave it plain white it might work but as you put shadows on her outfit it looks lost something is missing...

the BKG is awsome.
nice piece man*S*

wow. very nice job and welcome to the board. I like the way that the face is really clearly defined to draw attention but the rest of the image is a little blurry. If this wasn't intended, I'd try to give other parts of the image a little bit more definition. I also agree with most of the previous posts so I won't go over them.

Very nice picture. The bathrobe blends nicely with the background. Like the furriness/fuzziness to it as well. As for suggestions, I belive that the robe needs to cast a bit of a shadow onto the body. It seems that your light source is coming from the top, so lik eothers said before a bit more darker shades around the mouth etc..... and , if you want to make it seem that the environment she's in is very cold, change the facial expression and perhaps add breath marks. All in all, good picture, and it kiks ass for the first try

Man that's good, very serene and calm.
I agree with gontaro that the towel/clothing that she's wearing doesn't look as though there's a body inside of it.
I like the line around her as it brings her face out.
