Sakura pic - preview-detail-thing

Detail of a Sakura picture I'm working on currently. Photoshop 7 + tablet = MMMMH. ♥



... wow, her expression is kinda creepy. XD; Also I'm not sure I like her nose/cheekbone, and I might edit it if I figure out what's really wrong with it.

This is a great picture, but something about the right eye seems wrong. It maybe just me, but i have a weird feeling with that eye. Again, maybe it's just my weird sense of equalities in all things art. It's a very nice picture.

Hmm. Our right, or her right? ^^;; They probably look a little more parallel when she doesn't have her hair in her face like this... XD

Not sure if this is the right time to ask (because I'm going to have to leave soon):

How did you work with the hair to create that "feathery-detail" effect? _{Just wondering, because I'm planning on strengthening my skill at coloring sometime in the future (I'm especially horrible with hair texture).}

[askerian]

Hmm, I chose the basic color, applied it in large-ish clumps to roughly the right area -- a little smaller than that, really, because smudging it will spread the colored area -- added solid shadows of darker pink in roughly the right places, added clearer highlights, and then used the... er. the finger tool that smudges things to make big locks and zigzags and stuff. Then I made a transparent layer over it, took a tiny brush, and added a couple of almost-white hairs. ^^

The thing is to always follow the flow of the locks when you color hair, otherwise it looks a little weird.

I still say her hair and her lips are lovely. *grin*

I think it may be that her nose isn't that defined, I can barely make out there's a nose on my screen. And the chin is slightly off compared to the lips. Fluffy hair! ♥

Such detailed hair. :D That eyeshadow gives her such a sultry look.

Sultry and intense enough that if you look at her the wrong way, she'll beat you into seven different kinds of hell and then some. IMO, I think her left cheek (our right) seems slightly smaller then her own right, just enough to be noticeable. ^^ Then again, it might just be the hair - and me. o.o

The glare in her left (our right) eye makes that eye look a bit off; maybe lessen it a smidge? ^^ All in all, drool-worthy picture right here. :D

Is her head tilted a bit to her left? At least to me I'm getting a bit of an impression that the right eye is a bit higher and more centered than her left is. Her nose seems to have a bit of a tilt to her left as well, since it's flatter on her right than it is on her left.

Ooo, love the hair. O.o

I think I see what's wrong. She has no chin. Give her more of a chin, jawline and she should look better. He nose is fine, though the down turn of the corners of her lips looks a bit unnatural.

Does that help at all?

Her hair is the sex. She is very pouty though, haha. And the eye on her left kinda looks too far down and too big compared to the other one. I think the shadow line underneath it is thinner, though. Sakura, learn to apply makeup, dear! XD

I love that you have a tablet and can now treat us to this lovely stuff.

Yakuza?

I feel as though I should beg for a quick end.
...
Pretty hair though. What's really catching is the collarbone/shoulders IMHO (Don't know why)
