Trying a new way of coloring skin. and omg, an attempt at a background.
her tongue's sticking out b/c I was gonna make it striped, then decided against it at the last minute. I might post the other version up. Maybe. [her tongue was purple & black]
3 hours. Photoshop Elements 3.0. Wacom Graphire Tablet. 31+ layers.
Critique Encouraged Sorry, guys. I don't wanna hear how "cool" you think it looks. Sure it boosts my self-esteem, but it doesn't help me get any better at what I do. "/
1- What I like about it is how you did the background and the graffiti on the background. It's new for you, and I loves it. Plus it's very detailed.
2- What I don't like is how the background doesn't fit her very well. It's hard to explain but it's like something is off there. Also the eye isn't very sharp, it's very well done, but in my opinion it would look better if you'd used a sharper contrast.
3- What could be improved is like stated above, her eye seems to be a little too rounded for the seriousness of the rest of the picture, like it seems too chibi-ish. Also some of her hair doesn't cast a shadow on her face, which it should depending on the way it looks like the lighting-point is coming from, the bottom right hand corner yah?
All in all, it's a very good piece, but I know you could've done better.

"I'm having one of those things, a headache with pictures." "An idea?" "Ohh ooh!"
I see. Yeah I could work on making the tongue look more realistic, less pointy and all. What's wrong with the shadowing in the background? [I admit, shadowing is not my strong point] If you can tell me what's wrong with it, I'll see what I can do to fix it. Thanks.

I'd say you really needed to work on the tounge, and maybe the shadowing in the background

That's my weakness with pictures- I can never establish where I want the lighting to come from, so I always have trouble with the shadows.
And I see what you mean about her eyes and her looking out of place.. I'll work on that.
