Yes its Only Photoshop. Smile

And no, this time im not doing anything from my imagination. Im trying to learn this teqniq even better. And as u se Most of the weapon isent even the same as in the ref photo. So the only thing i do is pick colors and put out some ref points.

Enjoy! pls give me more comments... Wink

Hi Joacim. I'll just give you a quick crit.

Her left eye is placed too far to the right.
Generally I think her eyes need to be bigger.
Her left indexfinger is...weird, pointing too much forward.

Those crits are if you want it to look more like her. Other than that I think some dirtying up would fit the image nicely, but it's a matter of taste.

Perhaps you could add your own lightnig situation to make the image more your own, and to excersise (spelling?).

Keep up the good work.

Have you considered the field of depth? Shes left hand is quite sharp.

Pay attention to the materials. The gun at present, does not look convincingly metallic. You haven't taken into consideration the reflective qualities of it. The metal close to the face and hands is brownish with the occasional bluish hue. the rest of the gun is a rather cool bluish tone. These are the colors being picked up from the surroundings. There are some specular highlights on the bevels that have been left out as well.

The index finger on the hand supporting the weight of thr rifle is bent in an odd way. Try the pose out for yourself...the index finger should point the other way.

Im not wanted here so I will keep it brief.

joacim_nitz---well i think your colors are pretty well done for making an almost exact duplicate--but i think you're concentrating too much on just making the duplicate rather than studying the proportions and what not---looking at yours doesnt give me the impression that you planned it out first by a sketch or something--it looks like you just went ahead and did it---i can't explain what im trying to say so in short---don't just duplicate the photo...instead, draw that which you CANNOT see...

LIGHT--dude stop being so hard on yurself--i always thought you had very good and thourough responses just you took these forums too seriously--have some fun!!!
