Description This time used ( as opposed to Round Camel Hair ) Airbrush only to realize that DAMN I haven't used it in ages and that the Airbrushes in Painter are weeeeird.

Waahhh... the bridge of his nose, the hair, the neck... >.<
But he kinda sorta looks right ^^ I think. Possibly... *scratches head* I don't really know.... At least I managed to give him at least a little Asian look. That was mighty difficult actually.
You know, it was somehow scary to do that picture o_o I know it's not very photorealistic or anything but I think I'm slowly getting there and uh... seeing Itou take more and more real form is weird. Also... I can't deny the fact ( and this is not self-flattery ) that there's some similiarities on that face and on my face *sweat* But it's not intentional dammit!!! I know my own face better than any other face, of course a head from my imagination is gonna have some same features >.< If/when I draw Jaakko like this, he'll have the same problem.

But whoot. A big thanks goes to someone who probably isn't reading this but anyway. She practically tore the earlier picture apart with her critique ( ouch ) but I felt it helped me lots ^^
Anyhoo, comments very welcome.

Tykkäisin kertoa jotakin rakentavaa, mutta mun mielestä tää on vielä pitkän mietinnän jälkeenkin paras juuri tällaisenaan.

Aww man. You're better drawer than I remembered!
Love the nose. <3

Am not sure if his neck was meant to be "pinker" than his face but that's something that would bother me when it comes to finding bad things from the picture. Also making some parts of his hair little darker would have made his hair more real-like.

But really. If I were you I would be proud after creating something as good looking as this picture is!

Ah... wow. This one looks much better than the previous already. He really has that asian look to his face, and those eyes are very alive. Very nice :3
Used any reference?
Hmm... as for critique... *thinks* I know hair is difficult to draw realistic way... But I guess it could have bit more depth. The contrast between the technique used in hair and the one used on face is still pretty visible. Can't give much advice there tho - not that experienced myself!
The cig is kinda smudged - makes it look soft? XD; *is being weird*

You've advanced a level or two - Great job Nore *thumbs up*

Thank you ^^

I had Google's picture search open all the time for random helpers on different thigns ( like eyelashes, asian eyes, neck, color of the lips ) but I didn't use any single photo or picture really :3

The cig looks like a joint... *snerk* I forgot to add the filter XD;;

Thanks again <3
