Description
The extremely beautiful Venezuelan Model, Jessika Grau, a picture I found of her on a Venezuelan model magazine called Urbe bikini. The photographer that took the original picture that I used as reference is called Anibal Mestre. If you find him on deviantart, please tell me so I can tell him I have used his photo for on e of my works
.Took me about 4 days to complete this piece using Adobe Photoshop CS4 with the help of my Wacom Tablet. This is actually the first black- and white painting I ever did in Photoshop and I think I actually did pretty good! I'd have to say the jeans were the hardest to draw out of the whole picture, they probably took me a day and a half, but the final result was so worth it!Plz plz plz try to comment, put constructive criticisms, etc. it's very much appreciated

duuude que puedo decir? quedo increible!! felicitaciones jeje, esa mujer esta demas de buena XD
me gusta mucho el grado de realismo del pantalon, los detalles en las manos y la blusa uff!
lo unico que puedo decir que puedes corregir, y no es gran cosa, es el detalle del blending en el ante brazo y estomago, que se ve un poco raro, a lo mejor con un pincel tipo airbrush habria quedado mejor o quizas mezclando un poco mas en el area,
pero esta bestial
saludos!

proportionalities are good. But tones aren't enough mixed.^^ Don't worry you'll can achieve that with practice.

Yeah, I guess cuz for that pic I was using 100% flow all the time, now I'm varying both tone and opacity alot, and my results as far as smoothness are pretty good! But thanks for the constructive critisicm!

I have no positive criticism to formulate. In fact I even have no criticism to formulate at all... I'm all astounded 
Well, okay, maybe the hairs but such a beauty shouldn't be perfect

Haha, yeah hot sun is also one of my big sucesess at achieving reality. Yeah you are so right, the best beauty is the one that has little imperfections that make it perfect. But yeah the hairs do need a little improvement hehe. I give all my credit to the beautiful Venezuelan women I based both drawings on. They really give the beauty and elegance to the picture.

You can definitely see the time you've put into creating this piece - it looks amazing! The shading and highlights look so realistic. You've imitated the texture of the jeans in this digital work very well- it looks very convincing of being the real deal. Great work!

i don't really do much in digital, but one thing i would recommend is on the hair try to do strands in full strokes.. the broken strokes on the hair show up and take away from the piece, it's still a great piece, but I think the broken strands of hair take away from the feeling in the face. Amazing work doing the texture and shaping on the jeans, my only qualm is that the lower-right patch of jean doesn't quite show the texture like the rest does, but that's kind of negligible to the rest of the piece. There's also a problem on the forward arm near the armpit, is again the semi-broken line. Overall great piece though and I really do like it.

Thanks so much for the constructive criticism! I'll take those considerations in next time. I actually noticed that about the hair, but to repair it, I'd have to do the whole hair part again

i wish my body was like that! lol

Hehe, I've read lots of interviews about the model in the picture, Jessika Grau, and it's like a suicide what she does to stay in shape. It's mostly gym gym gym I think, almost no surgery at all! That's why you gotta love Venezuelan women hehe.But thanks for the comment! I'm sure u could look like that if u work rlly hard hehe.
