_{it's not even light out

but you've somewhere to be

uh, i'll excuse myself by saying i listened to "The Moment I Said It" by Imogen Heap too many times today.

anyway, decided to be a little daring to rid myself of my artistic frustration, so i did this.

A PORTRAIT AND A BACKGROUND?????

shocking, i know.

i really hate how i do noses, but i already see improvement from my first portrait of Condesce, so i'm glad i was able to learn a few things down the road with this.

i hope you guys like it! (;

For a tip with the nose- you've given it a shadow either side of the nose that is just as dark as the shadow under her neck which suggests it's casting a shadow of the same intensity, meaning that the cheek bones are very sunken in. I dont' think that was the intention that you wanted so I'm going to suggest that if you have a light this intence that it's only on one side of the nose or that the whole face has a shadow of the same intensity. The cheek area has a triangle where it goes towards the light that has been flattened off here. I can see though where it'd be confusing- though. The model in your reference is heavily photoshopped Sad They've blurred out alot of important contour on the face. http://www.gfxtra.com/uploads/posts_images/3/2/32137/1290341868269.jpg This referance here is hosted on a portrait drawing site. It might have some shopping in it, but it looks like it still has alot of integrity. I'm not sure if it's a clearer lighting reference for you. It's just that the one you linked has had the skin heavily modified. Only the eyes, nostrils and mouth are still in tact Sad I don't trust it's accuracy.

I love the diffused look you've given the digital colour though. Digital colour is normally so flat. This has given it a great texture that's really subtle, but it feels right Smile
