Hm, this may show up twice because I could swear I typed it all in and hit reply...and there it isn't! Anyway, Allerleirauh, sorry I thought I said texture! Oops...I like working with others' morphs of course, but whenever I touch a mesh I pretty much destroy it, so far, so I'm not your girl for that. Melanie, for sources, check out makeup books, in particular kevyn aucoin's book "making faces." Lots of big, straght-on pix. That book has some really good stuff on how you design a makeup look overall, which is useful for drawing as well as rendering (stuff like where to put highlights, etc). Then pick your favorite male celebrity and search the internet for someone who's obsessed with him; chances are they will have many good large scans of his lovely mug. Thanks everyone for the comments--all the comments. It's encouraging to hear that people like or are interested in my work since I'm still learning (always will be, I hope!). So, what do I do about those long, skinny eyebrows? Should I chop them off (so they don't wrap around her head) will that make the eyes look weird? should I just moosh & stretch them so they're shorter and fatter? I don't know if they look good so skinny. Oh and does anyone know why vicky has 2 sets of brows? Mary
