Hi,

I worked on two pictures.
Thanks a lot for posting your amazing work again.
It's loads of fun to retouch them.

Now I have to pick a  different one - Pellepiano's is clearly the definitive version of this for all time.

Then this one won't do smarty pants (the smile really does make the difference btw) I used blur and I used twice on this one but you are one of the few ppl here that are actually going to know where wink

It's a 800mb+ ,psd file but I have to add a few layers I did in a new document 300mb+ and I'm scared to open it until I'm done with my actual paying client's deadline.

And Sean... there's nothing to the eyelashes that u can learn from the layers really.... I hand draw each one with the smudge tool (2 layers, first real eyelash size brush, second, 1 pixel brush for the curled tips and I add a little grain to each layer and some blur ) then (and this is because I'm a freaking maniac) I add, one white highlight to each eyelash in a new layer and then add a little b&E to then blend overlay (this is barely noticeable in the final, but for me, it closes the deal on the fake eyelashes).

Thank u for the niceness, even u wisy smile

PS: I don't think it's finish yet... I'd love to D&B some more and do something with the eyebrows.

hmm

one of the links doesnt work apparently, if someone can tell me which one i can fix it smile




here is the link. apparently one of the photos didnt open so its on there twice and one of them should work,

there are roughly 10 looks here, all beauty, really fun edgy images!!

these are just for practise would prefer if you didnt post them in your ports, only the best ones can be posted in your ports, so message me if you would like to, and i will decide smile

have fun.

Grant.

Actually... I'm thinking of dding little very tiny daisy flowers (White dust with yellow dust in the middle)  on one of the sides to break the symmetry and then do a bright yellow to white BG.

what do you think?
