Description

I am really sick of drawing this. =__= I tried to make pores... input on which parts of the pores actually work and which don't would be great.

References used, obviously, but it is an original painting. o_O

*Cries* It still doesn't look like I want it to.

[link] tumblr there, please. ^_^

Also, doing a points giveaway right now on my journal. ^_^

WOW this is beautiful! The textures and layered skin tones, the gloss and transparent look of her eyes... so much attention to detail. You are so skilled! The tiny pores and it with the warm tones you included it totally takes it to a new level of life-like. You managed to capture her appearance and her personality perfectly. The eyes, nose, cheeks and the white light across her face is especially stunning and looks very photographic.

My only suggestion for next time would be, if you choose to diverge more from the reference, try to brighten the face with more warm lighting. It would really bring out more color. There are a lot of blue and grey tones and shadows here that could be balanced out with more warm colors or even a second light source, Right now, she blends a bit into the background, which is why I took off a little for "impact". Otherwise it's utterly fantastic and spot on!!!
