Self-portrait

Fri Apr 15, 2005 9:31 pm

This is something I started to twiddle with yesterday, took me about eight hours in total to finish it. Used a photo of myself as a base, which some of you may have already seen in the PPT Picture thread

Made with Photoshop 7.0. Critique is welcome.

Awww, wow, I know which picture you're talking about, and I love the eyes. (Heh, both in the photo and the drawing.) It's great, it looks exactly like you. The sparkles in the lipstick goes great with the background.

Thats freaking insane!!!!!!!!

But I think that the shoulder looks a bit rushed. Other than it, it's so beautiful, especially the eyes.

Yeah, I agree with you, I managed to loose interest when the face was finished

I think that happens to most, if not all of us. XD I lose interest so often it isn't even funny.

Okay, so maybe it is, but..

It's an amazing pic. I've tried doing self-portraits before, but I just can't seem to manage. Then again, they were on HUGE sheets of paper in all pencil. ~_~ I despise using pencil for more than just the main sketch. ^^"

The only thing that bugs me is how thick the individual strands of hair are at the end, but that's just a nitpick about style. XP

Hehe, why not

I like to draw with my graphics tablet and all that, and I don't really like working on pics of myself all the time

Wah! That's really beautiful. :] Which means you're beautiful tooh! XD I love your eyes. ^_^ The background blends well with the drawing.

It looks awesome, it's just... your cheeks look a little weird to me. But everything else is awesome. You should open a request board and do other people.

Woah! That's great! I love how the eyelashes seem to have the sparkly stuff coming off of them at one point and it's a really nice portrait! Good job!

Yes, open a request board so I can make you do a picture of me.

What's wrong with my cheeks?

Hehe, maybe I'll make that kind of a requestboard in July or so, right now I'm way to busy *shuffles in pile of important... stuff*
