Description
I've been wanting to do a drawing of her for a LONG time. The woman in the drawing is Miss Venezuela/Miss Universe 2008 and whom I consider the most beautiful woman on earth. I loved drawing this, seriously. Even though politically Venezuela is one hell of a messed up place, the women are just angels in a sea of chaos. This is a perfect example of it.The drawing is based off this image [link] (I know I did a black bikini instead of the 99999999999999999 billion beads around her neck but I didn't wanna spend 5 hours painting all of them since I wanted to finish this before the start of the week. Besides, black on black looks better
) I did this probably in about 14 hrs using CS4 and my wacom tablet.Edits: I added a different, improvised BG and gave her more definition, a different top bikini, and changed her hair style completely.

Yeah I know, she is BEAUTIFUL. She kinda does look like her now that I think about it, their skin tones are pretty much the same and they also have around the same facial features. And thanks for your comment on my style! Its very appreciated!

Hahaha, so you were... βlazyβ? 
The reference picture is very small and IMHO you've given yourself pretty much work as I guess it was not easy to spot the details 
Shading (as for the reflection) on the bottom lip looks too straight, making the lip look like there's a flat area. The reflection βlineβ should make a slight curve towards the bottom.
As for the eye on the left (i.e. her right eye) the angle in the right corner looks too sharp IMHO and should be just a little wider. The border of the bottom eyelid should be more straight, almost horizontal, especially near the right corner.
Phew, tried my best to describe that
This said I just love how you transformed her... clothes

Thanks man! Yeah, if there is one thing Im not lazy at is art. Thanks for pointing that out about the mouth an eyes. The mouth was actually the thing I spent time struggling with. I hadn't noticed the eye part, I'll check that out. And you're right, the reference IS pretty small, it looked pixelated all over when I tried to zoom in. That's probably one of the main reasons why I gave up on the 9999999999999 billion beads haha.

Yup, the stamp-sized picture doesn't help. But you worked it out quite well.
