Clarisse Silva: Thanks a lot! You're right... she really is cross eyed.
Hypnagogic_Haze: I actually prefer painting straight away, without any lines. But I think my images turn out better when I start with line drawing (more or less clean) because this forces myself to make sure structure, anatomy etc are correct befor I jump into painting and rendering (my favourite part). Maybe I should hone both approaches though.
Warburton: Thank you! I don't know how I did it either, haha! :D Lots and lots of layers with fancy modes and fancy brushes, I think. About the lines, as I said to Hypnagogic_Haze, it is my way to force myself to slow down and do better work ... but losing the life of the initial idea really is an issue. Maybe I can find a hybrid way that works for me. Feel free to ramble all you wish ;D The class is quite basic but a very nice summary of the perspective fundamentals, and Matt does a great job answering questions and giving feedback (so far) etc... if you decide to take it and if it's your first class make sure to use a link of me oder pnate or so for a discount :p
Ignatz: Thank you!
Ok - this is really getting frustrating! I've repainted the face several times now and it just gets worse and more stiff. Also, I am encountering a problem I don't really know how to solve or why that is: When I work zoomed in it looks ok, but as soon as I zoom out again, I immediately hate it... but I can't really tell what's off. It reads when I reduce values to 3, so that can't be the problem.
I think I'll just give up and close her mouth next time..and only give her a tiny smile.
She's too colorful so far, but I want to go for a really light skin, with lots of subtle color shifts, so I hope this should work as a base. Will see how it goes! Beware of creepy doll stare :p
