So, i finally got myself a wacom and am freeing myself from the tyrannical rule of the mouse. Certainly has a bit of a learning curve, but i am a fast student when it comes to anything electronic.

Here is the first retouch i did with it for a Photog.
Feel free to give me any insight as to what i did right or wrong.

nice cleaning on the skin wink what i would suggest you to remove are the lashes that cross her eyball. and i am not too sure about the colors of the overall picture, but that is probably only my personal taste.

Nice skinwork, it could do with some sharpening though, especially the eye.

Looks great, wacom seems to be working for you!

As a general retouch though...I agree I think some sharpening is needed, but just a tiny bit.  Also, I don't care too much for the colors.....it looks a little flat to me.

Good skin work smile
The eyes are the thing that stand out to me. The sclera isn't white anymore, so mask out that blue/green adjustment on the eyes, and then sharpen them a little smile I'd probably just neaten the eyelashes a little too.
