Hopefully I'm getting better at these..





comments?

edit:

ahh >.< Just looking at it makes it look like all I did was up the saturation... :3 I did the eyes alot. I made the whites whiter. I gave her cheeks a reddish tone. I changed her eye color. I removed her piercings. I removed a alot of pimples. I removed the background cuz it was ugly ... :3 I smoothed her skin a bit... I'm not sure if it's noticeable..

Dude, you just made her look way more ruddy and scary. She looks like one of those "before" pictures for rosacea treatments.

Rosacea? Dunno what that is. I definitely removed the blemishes.. you want me to do eye popping changes? I have no idea what your post is telling me I need to do... did I not smooth her skin enough? I need to do something eye-popping? :3 sorry. could you please elaborate?

Do you know why I hate you, emberfly? Because you absolutely REFUSE to educate yourself if you don't know what something is. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GOOGLE IT. I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER.

Blemishes you did remove (not that there were many to begin with) but look at that ridiculous redness all throughout her face. She looks like she has rosacea. A bad case of it (tip: this is your cue to GOOGLE IT).

Retouch =/= smudge smudge smudge, blur blur, ++saturation, gaussian blur on soft light, smudge smudge for good measure, voila.

No offense, you made the picture worse, making it look like she has rosacea, bleached hair, the purpose of a retouch is to remove blemishes, and fix the lighting, maybe to smooth the skin, hide subtle details behind more eye popping changes. Work on it a bit.


Agreed. ermm.gif If you fix the lighting, and smooth the entire face nicely, I think it'll look a little better. The smudging around the eyes is too obvious... it looks like she has semi-healing black eyes :(

Man, why'd you have to move her white eye glimmers? They look best at the center of the iris. :[
 
Eww

i think you overdid it with the levels
..like everyone else said the smudging and blurring was way too visible.
i'm sure you could have fixed her blemishes without turning her so red.

Er maybe cover up the vein she has by her left eyebrow?

-i can see what you did with the whites of her eyes, but i don't really like it. it think it's too much of a solid white
-the reddish tone does not work.
-you probably did remove a lot of pimples. her skins still looks nasty though and her skin doesn't look smoothed :\


keep practicing, I guess mellow.gif

Why would you even think her skin looked better? and why would you remove the earring, her ear looks mutant-like now. My suggestion is to start over.

I know this isn't the best at all.. but I did it in less than five minutes..
here is an example of what you should do:


The right eye is rough.. but I wasn't trying to make it perfect
