Hey everyone. This was my first time doing a free-hand computer painting of a celebrity. (Meaning, using a picture to look at for reference, but not tracing it). Can you guess who it is? I know the hair sucks horribly. I still need practice with that...but I was just happy with how the face came out. Here's the original photo: click. Hope you guys like it! I'll add some of my regular pencil drawings later on.
its very similar, youd like to teach me how to do something like it? uim terrible with this kind of thing -.-'
The hair is the only thing throwing it off. It looks good but you made the hair "generalized". Like you just didn't want to give it time it deserved. If you went back and did the hair again, it would look great. Also go a little more darker on the left side of the face. Her right our left. And the thumb on her right hand. For a first try you did good.
That's not at all the case. I probably spent 50% of my time on this thing working on the hair. I did it 5 times and after this, figured that was as good as it was going to get. I'm definitely considering trying again sometime whenever I get bored. Thank you for your other suggestions.
I only said that because the hair next to the dog is very loose and everything. Did you switch brushes and so on. Maybe if you look for a brush that will help you make hair easier that would solve the problem. Good luck on your next work.
You did a good job capturing her likeness, but I agree with others about the hair. It's the only thing really compromising the quality of the picture overall. Instead of trying to copy what you see in the picture, maybe you should look for a drawing hair tutorial and start from scratch to help you learn how to do it properly. All in all, though, I think it's great.
Nice drawing you did i would like to be like you but doesnt have the time to be as good as this .. continue like this your very good
That's okay, I didn't mean to sound like I took offense to it or anything. I appreciate the constructive criticism. Anyway, no, I didn't switch brushes...maybe I should try that next time? I hate hair. >.< Yeah, I found several tutorials on hair, one of which was so realistic, it looked like a photo. However...I obviously didn't do it right. :\ Thanks for the tips. And thanks to the rest of you for the compliments and constructive criticism!
