I can need some feedback or tips on how to improve it.

Id love to know what u think.

Hey, beautiful image. I am a big fan of Illustrator so I can appreciate the work you had to go through to get such an image.
A couple of things I would change IMHO.

I would have less detail on her face, it kinda makes her look a bit old and manly. Especially around the mouth and chin area. Maybe the darker shades should be lighten, not necessarily removed.

I dig the greyscale thing as well, but I think her hair and clothes need some highlights.

Even still... WOW.
:thumbsup:

[joacim]

Malameel: Thank you. Finaly one that can come up with some good feedback =)

Your are absolute right. I will change that as soon as i can.

Thnx!

hey this looks good why isn't this on the front? Nice job dude, hmm.. I think the colour version is much better, the chin shape and the tone look slightly out and the eyelashes looks to perfect or I can't see the top lashes only the bottom ones unless thats what you wanted for a more simplified look...

other then that 4 stars from me!

[SpaceTik]

she looks pretty happy, whats going on with the bottom half of the pic then??:D

[schmu_20mol]

looks good though i can't really help out - never done anything with vector arts for now

[joacim]

SpaceTik: wow.. thnx for that great comment. Actully she is dancing. This is the photo i used as reference.

More comments are welcome... :p

Nice work!

Just got a couple of things to say (dont pay much attention anyways cause im new to all this computer graphics things and never done any vector graphics):

1. the nose, when i saw the close up image of the nose with the vectors (dont know if those are the vectors, i mean the red lines and dots) it seams that its...how to say it....shoot cant find words in english to describe it....like its to vertically for the face position (dont know if im making myself clear...).

2. The upper lip, its just...too round, it lacks that....grrrrr, again dont know how to say it...that downward part we all have under the nose, that makes it look like a inverted W.

Hope been of help :beer:

on the photograph you can see that the bottom bit of the hair is lighter with a highlight where the hair curls. It would probably make your hair look less 'flat' when that subtleness would be taken into account in the vector drawing as well.

[joacim]

thnx for all the replys =) I posted this before, but i will do it again =) Its a tutorial on how to do that vector...
