Digital Self-Portrait

Sazzy · Sep 06, 2009, 04:05 PM

Well seeing as last time i tried to paint a photograph in photoshop, it really didn't turn out so well. But I've managed to find a really cool tutorial this time. And I've been working on a new Digital Self-Portraitl;

Sketch;

01.

02.

I've been really working at a slow pace with this. trying to get each section done properly. I don't know if you can tell which part I'm currently working on but its the nose before then moving on to the eye's. I should really find a tutorial to help me paint noses, which I'm sure Deviant Art has if I look (I'm pretty sure I did see one, its just finding it again).

I finally got the skin to look like skin!! took me a while to figure out where I was going wrong though.

HOLY CRUD! The skin is so freakin awesome!
what I suggest though is work on the hair some more. Some of those blurry parts on your hair should be a little bit more sharper. Try to make the hair pop out as well, give it more detail. Try with shadows and lighting. It looks like it was just painted in with black and white blurry lines being put in. Go for fixing up those lines first. It would take a long time doing that. But yea, it looks so awesome by far. The skin blends in wonderfully.

You really outdid yourself there! I can see the improvements from your last self portrait!
