Description
This is my first official image done in Painter 8, and the beginning of a whole-hearted attempt to learn something new. It's roughly based on the "painting faces" tutorial given in Don Seegmiller's book, "Digital Character Design and Painting" (Thank's Stacey *winks*). I realize the image is rough and unfinished, but I kinda got stuck, and decided it was best to move on.
This type of work is relatively new to me, and I am starving for more information on painting...anything.. figures, trees, clouds, ect... If you have anything to offer, suggest, add or comment.. please do :o)
*hugs* Jane

The lines and colors are very reminiscent of Boticelli. You are definitely off to a fantastic start. My only critical bit of advise here is to get more anatomical reference. You don't need help with the colors and techniques in my humble opinion.

OK, constructive comment... the jaw seems a little too long and so it puts the ear a little too far back. Other than that, it's excellent. The nose and eyes are balanced perfectly and the forehead is just the right shape, height and angle :) I wish I was even a fraction as good :)

I kinda like the face not all proportionate.. gives it alot of character. Very good job..keep it up!

Okay, sans the ear: The entire face seems a bit... off. I dunno, like it's been stretched in several directions. The jawline should be higher, chin is a bit too elongated, the lower part of the nose looks fine, but the entire nose-mouth area of her face seems to be too far forward. The upper part of the nose where it joins the forehead should probably be a bit higher up. Given her jawline, the top of her head is too short. She should still have skull above where the top of her hair is. The skin tone looks good(love the use of blues to give the translucent effect so many people often forget or don't know about), the only minor criticism there is that with no more than a bit of red to define her cheekbone, the side of her face looks a bit flat. Overall, a pretty good first try at this. Aside from a few anatomical issues, I'd say you're well on your way. Oh yeah, and... love the hair.
