Taking a crack at painting a face. The little I've done are usually more cartoon-ish and frankly the women often look 'man-ish.' I usually sketch and then paint in PS but trying to work at doing it all with the tablet.

I liked this pic of Ziyi Zhang from Hero. It is expressive and has delicate features.

I think that's it for this image. Learned a few things anyway. http://www.stormvisions.com/media/conceptartorg/face-wip-6.jpg

Here are some of the steps

Nice work Bupaje, I really like your drawing :thumbsup:. My one suggestion is to try and get the tilt of the head and let the features fallow. Working with light construction lines in the beginning is great way to find the right "feel" of the subject.

Thanks for the useful feedback - I'll do that on my next try.
