This is brilliant! Very well painted, and I really like the reflection in the eye. I can never get eyelashes right, they way you've drawn them makes them look so photorealistic...Which program did you use for this?

Well, I used a photo ref. The reflection was already there. But, if you want a tip for drawing eyelashes, here it is: first,if it is a big painting, you use the pen tool to draw the lines (in that way, you get excellent curves), then, you use a brush to make the lines thicker near the eyelid, lastly, you use the eraser (less than 100% opacity), to fade the points. Photoshop CS2 all the way.

Thanks for the tip! ^_^ And i agree, Photoshop's brilliant.. I'm using CS3, there don't seem to be that many differences between the version before it (I was using Photoshop v7 for many yrs before the upgrade, didn't cause me nearly this much angst where RAM is concerned )

Thanks again!

I already took CS3 for a test drive but, like you said, it doesn't differ much from the previous version. I'll stick with CS2 for a while.
