Thankyou! I did feel a bit lazy with the beads the highlights in the black ones don't match up at all

is that a draw? or a photomanipulation? whatever it is is quite cool

Ha, well I guess I manipulated the photo in my head, then drew it

Ha - thanks! I think I didn't catch the expression of the ref, but I was quite happy - it seemed to go 'wrong' in a good way

I think you did perfectly.. I can't appreciate any difference in expression... from the ref to your draw.. I've seen both a couple of times trying to find out the differences but I couldn't.. so don't be modest, you just did it perfect!

The beads and fabric in this are amazing, and its hard not to keep staring at her face; she looks almost desperate about something.

shalpin In reply to Spiderwriter [2007-01-20 21:29:38 +0000 UTC]

I was pleased with the face - it's not like the photo (which I thought was excellent) but I think it made her look a little more moody, which was quite lucky The beads, I feel I could have done a better job in positioning the highlights, so they are all consistent But I don't beat myself up too much, I was pleased with the overall result.

Kittenpants [2006-08-23 02:23:47 +0000 UTC]

I may be a freak, but my favorite parts are the shading on the pearly beads (they look pearly!) and the short strokes of the hair that fade into the background. The hair-background interplay is the bane of my existence, but you've really nailed it here.

Thankyou. They were remarkably quick to do (I guess because they're so light). I get bored with details

Thanyou. I think the original had some tension, I just mangled it a bit

You really improved the mood from the photo and put more emotion into it. Love the shadows from the beads

shalpin In reply to 2Funki4Wheelz [2006-08-22 01:40:54 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou. They were a bit tricky, because I'd made the beads smaller than the ref (unintentionally ), so I was trying to wing it with the shadows
