I would call this a vector, since I'm using mainly using vector masks, if it weren't for the hair. Trying to practice vexeling hair with brush strokes for this one.

Anyway, c&c away. It's unfinished, apparently, and what bugs me most is the cheek work and and lips. I actually had to redo all of my skin transition layers, cause I wanted to stay away from parallel lines and didn't want it looking so "neat."

The bottom lip is gorgeous, but the upper could use some work. I don't think there's anything wrong with her cheeks though.

Oh, hah, thanks. I'm actually not done with the upper lip yet. xD But yeah, about the cheeks, I guess I might be looking at it too much. Cause one minute, I glance at it and think it's fine. Then the next, I find myself editing a cheek layer or two.

The cheeks look fine to me too! I loooooooooooooooooooove the eyes. I think you pretty much just need to finish the lips, eyebrows, shirt and it'll be great! :D

As you finish it more. make it look more normal and constant. Like the shirt is a solid color while the hair is like a vector with fewer colors but the face looks more like an image.

I like it. What's her name Mark? U have to do something about her boob, it looks like an elongated cube.

Haha, thanks. Yeah her boob currently looks like that cause her hand is actually over it.. which I haven't started on yet. x]

I really don't get why you never finish these. They're freaking awesome. Seriously.

I have nothing bad to say. I have a ton of good things to say though. Like how AMAZING her eyes and nose look. Seriously. My noses end up looking a wee bit deformed.

Yeah, ahaha. I know, I should be vectoring them at the same time. :[

Haha alright, I updated with my latest progression. A ton of minor fixes everywhere, but mainly wanted to show you guys her hand is covering her boob, which is why it looked deformed at first, haha.

I looked at it and almost didn't recognize it, haha. You did a great job with it (: There's something about the thumb though, it looks weird that the green overlaps into the thumb. Minor detail though.

Thanks for commenting, guys. :]

Posted the latest progression. I actually haven't done a single thing to it for almost a month now. x_x But um, don't mind the hair. I'm prolly gonna start the hair all over, haha.

Yeah, her upper lip looks a bit flat to me. Are you going to connect the earring parts?

^Yes, I will eventually. I'll also finish the upper lip ultimately; I totally skipped it for a long time, hah.
