Description
Well my creativity level has been below 0 for a LONG time. I open poser and try to work on things, but I end up just staring at it and then scrapping it.
However, I really wanted to play with my painting, so decided to try and see what I could do. Been working on this off and on for several weeks. Still has a long way to go, but wanted to post to get some feedback. I'm having trouble with the lips, if anyone has suggestions I'd be delighted!
Thanks for peeking!

Looks beautiful!! Way better than I could ever do .. I would move her left eye more to the left, it looks a little off .. as for the lips.. possibly a shinier highlight?
fanatsic image and excelllent:)
Beautiful!!! =0)
It's a good beginning! The eyes don't look quite right though. I think the alignment is a bit off, but I love their highlights and shading. The eyesbrows are also great! I agree with MistDragon, on the lips. The shape and shadow are excellent.
beautiful.....i have no knowledge of painting so i'll just sit here and look.....
Goodness... BEAUTIFUL!!! :)
Looking Fabulous! Can't wait to see it done up!
I won't repeat the previous comments on the left eye but as for the lips its almost as though you gave some darker lines to the bottom lip but not the top lip...the shape is great but its missing texture to me.
Good for you! I love Poser but it can be such a crutch, glad to see you working on your painting. Beautiful work so far. Keep at it!
Its great to see such talent branch out and expand!! This is beautiful and the detail is amazing!! Gorgeous work!!
I sure hope you keep on keeping on with your painting, looks like you got a darn good handle on it!!!
It looks amazing to me! If you haven't seen it, Linda Berkquist (sp?) has a lip painting tutorial in the gallery section here http://www.furiae.com/ I haven't tried it, but I have done her eye one and that was very helpful.
it looks good so far! the shape of her lips seem good, and the work you've done on her eyes is great
The eyes are great.
Beautiful work of art!! Wonderful 2D creation!!
Awesome!
Wow. I don't think I can give any advice. When used to draw with a pencil and paper, I never could do people. I always drew monsters, go figure. I think this is beyond anything I can do. Very nice.
needs more color, her body looks too rubbery. Her muscles need to be defined. You know it just looks flat, You may want to try adding some more colors like green, blue, purple. The nose can be tweaked a little. Usually when I start a painting, I just block in the shapes first defining the dark areas and the light areas. I prefer to use the hard edge brush instead of the soft brush. Too much airbrushing can hurt the art. I use the airbrush for some blending and hair but you do what's comfortable for you. Stand back away from the painting and look at it closely. Hope this helps. I haven't had time to do any new paintings, I haven't had time for art period and it's driving me crazy. Check out my gallery, hopefully soon I'll get time to update it
Lovely art work! Bravo!
Considering that I can't even draw straight lines with a pen, this is quite a nice piece. The detail of the eye looks wonderful and it's the think you did better. Sorry, I can't offer any advice.
Absolutley lovely artwork!!!Excellent!!
Excellent painting my dear friend as you said is a long way to go but the important matter is we should go forward as we can never stop I am sure you can be one of the best !!!!V
Wow.. This is gorgeous! Excellent work!

I agree with Moow,, a long way to go but everything is proportioned correctly and she is destined to be most wonderful,, can't wait to see her completed hon,, EXCELLENT+++++ Hugsssss Linda :-)
u know even my bys wear lips gloss...:) one trick i've learned about helping lips give define and bounce from the rest of the face is to add a highlight facing the light source on the top edge of the lips, above the lip color, some kind of yellowish normally does the trick good. i dunno, it like everyone has slimy lips....lol keep er going i wanna see it done!
Good start,I couldnt add on advice as Im a crap painter lol hk cal
