Description
Testing out a litttle new ground for me...Tears.
This is a portion of a previous post I've chosen
for some trial tear painting.
It is entirely Photoshop lasso, dodge and burn.
The image is a little too low-res to introduce
reflective 'color', so I decided not to even try.
Input from you all is greatly appreciated!
Please tell me what you think it needs. :)

Thanks in advance for helping out!!

I think it needs for you to write a tutorial for those of us who haven't quite gotten the hang of making fantastic tears like these!!! Superb!!!!
This is a very realistic tear on a fantasy image! Well done!
fantastic fairy and great portrait!!!!bravo!!!vote!:DDD
Very good tear!
Great work on the tear! I wish I could do such a fab job on tears! BTW - I loved the original image to this too! :-D
Great tear but it looks like it should fall a little to the right along her cheek. Good job of painting
I looked up your other image to check out the eye and saw you thought about putting the wetness in here. Very good ! BTW I think the path of a tear is non-predictable so I like it as it is !
Great tear, and fabulous expression!
Wonderfu work!
I think I missed the contour a bit, too.:) (TheBox) I appreciate the fresh viewpoint. It's easy to miss these things when you stare at an image too long ;D. Much thanks for all the comments (now and later) !! - Charlie
inspiring image here! realistic look is well done
I am v impressed, almost the best tears I have seen :D and certainly much better than my efforts :D I'll send you a link to the best I have ever seen :P I think you have to really look hard to notice the contour issue raised above. V nice and thanks again.
Outstanding realistic tear! Awesome model. Congrats :-)
wow, thats awesome. and you did that on photoshop?
This is EXCELLENT !
Thanks for the link Hawke! Very fine tear example!! And a HUGE thanks to all for your encouragement and support!! :D
IMHO it looks fantastic. The contouring gives her cheek a small amount of plumpness. i agree with ACHPostma on the unpredictability of path. Love the extra wetness on her lower lid for more realism. Any chance of sharing that link?
I think the tear looks incredible, you did an amazing job!
oh mann-your work is mindboggaling and simply and truley wonderously magical..this gets inside of me and is fantastically heartwrenching!! AWESOME!!!
