Description Here's another work of mine, took me about 3 and a half hours to finish it, it took me a while to finish her hair. Anyway, i really like how this one turned out, my conclusion is the darker my work is, the better the scanner scans it. This is a request from Rukitomi who suggested her, never thought that she's this pretty. I recently found out that this guy, Rukitomi, who left a comment on my gallery a year ago, was my classmate!! i'm really surprised. There it is, Taylor Swift

Again, Thanks! yea, i really didn't noticed that when looking at this from afar, but yeah, i'll fix it. Aside from the lips, is there anything else that needs to be fixed? What do you think?

D3W3 In reply to gerd324 [2009-04-24 18:32:32 +0000 UTC]

well it's really hard to tell, i don't know the original work. but it looks good and i'm sure tehre's really nothing much to fix
but her fingers might look a bit flat? that's pretty small tho

gerd324 In reply to D3W3 [2009-04-25 01:50:07 +0000 UTC]

I really don't know why, but my works expands a little, the width it is, and that makes some of my works look fat, but sometimes, when i already finished the hair, and the face, i get excited too much on finishing the work that i can't put that much details anymore on the remaining parts, LOL. But thanks, really, for telling me what to fix.

ok, i found the original photo (pretty easily, actually), and really, REALLY tried to see those few parts that could-might-need fixing.
Ok, pretty much of this could be because of the expanding widht, so if your scanner does it, you don't have to worry bout this (at least so much)

i made a printscreen and did some markings there, here's the link: [link]

the face looks sligtly flat form the left, so i made my "markings". they kinda try to show, where it could be little darker, and which dirrection those lines could be drawed to make the illusion of deepness.

the white part shows how the light reflection could be done to create deepness, too, in the nose. the red part is also for the deepness, now in the nose too.
oh, and dont note the blur in the right cheek, i messed up that. and about the

neck, maybe it would need lines bending to the shape of the neck, just a little

Pleease note this! if you don't think it should be like this, make up your own mind! i'm not real professional, and i don't want your drawings to get messed up because of me . once again, it could be because of the scanner, if it expands the widht. pheew, and really, i propably could not do this this perfectly.

i'd also like to thank how you take all critic it shows that you want to became better (long post, lmao)

Beautiful! The hair is so detailed and the eyes are really intense. The only thing that I can see that needs fixing is her lip, but that's probably just me. Great job <3
