So for National Art Honors Society we had to do a portrait of an orphan from Guatemala (though an organization, I'll get the name tomorrow and post it if anyone's interested) and this is the one I'm submitting.
 (thumbed)Here's the original that I had to work off of (that size too) Program: Photoshop 6.0 Time: I don't even want to think about that Layers: 320 |

Hey, it looks good! Some criticism though: some of the features (like the eyes and lips) look pasted onto the face. I think they'd look better if you could blend them into the skin by using shadows and doing eyelids. I know that one nostril looks bigger than the other because of the lighting/shadows but in the vexel, it looks non-existent. =\ Though you had a small, bad-quality image to work with so... =\

OTher than that which you have already pointed out, it looks very good, Jackie. You've very much captured the original photo.

Maybe it is just me because I don't know anything about doing that kind of portrait shading thing. Just a disclaimer before I say what I think.
His skin looks like a contour map. Is there any possible way to make the lines less dramatic? If you quint your eyes it looks really good. It's the lines that bother me, especially in the lighter areas. |

I love it, I think it's great. Although the lips do look slightly pasted on.
QUOTE His skin looks like a contour map. ^Isn't that what vectors are supposed to look like..? |

it looqs really nice but the left ear looqs like it was cut. the lips are a little weird and maybe you shouldnt let the eyes pop out so much. make it blend in

I kind of agree the skin does look just like a contour map
 And I've seen plenty of vectors that don't look like that. Maybe I just think theres just to many shades on the skin. The mouth, nose, and eyes do look like they were just pasted on there. I think the hair looks good though. I think it need quite a bit of work. I'm sure you've done some changing though, maybe an update?
