Xava: Mischief., Tiziano Baracchi (2D)

[Samuraikuroi]

Wow...Tiziano, were do I begin?? This is Amazing. High marks for the composition alone. the knowledge of the human form in perspective outstanding! The coulour of the skin, the light of the piece perfect. The expression on her face, priceless. I have always been a fan of your works since I first seen them here. But this knock it out the park for me. Fantastico.
Well DONE! 5 stars from me.

What can I say, but "bello come sempre"! 5* from me my friend!

love all the color on skin and the softness, hand is wonderful and beautiful painted

Wow, very nice composition. I love the values and shadows on the woman's skin tones. The green-tinted cast shadow on the back is a great touch. You obviously know how to work with skin tones very well. Well done. Her eyes are very expressive and I can see the green in them. That's hard to do when we can't see the picture in a larger format. The monkeys fit into the environment and doesn't look like they're in a separate plane or environment from her. They're very well rendered, especially the fur. Great work on the background trees and the ruins she's on. The large branch on the upper left above the woman's head looks a little flat as you come back near the trunk of the tree. It may be because the grained wood texture isn't hard to see, but there isn't enough value to show the trunk's volume and shape. The part with the light contrasting around it is nice though. Beyond that, excellent work. I love this piece.

Hey Tiziano!...this is just beautiful!:thumbsup:... I've always followed your works and i must say they are very signature to you, especially in your wide color palette for rendering skin.:arteest: i love here how the upper of the girl is warm and bright and as it progresses it cools. great expression and excellent job on the hair!!...well done!!:thumbsup:

Karisa:)

[Thanaban]

[ianruff]

I am a big fan, love each one of these you do. Great job on the monkeys, the stone and of course the girl.

Samuraikuroi :Thank you very much, my friend! That is extremely high praise and a big reason to keep working and improving. :blush:

Coyotes: mille grazie my friend, I hoped you'd like this girl :)

cristalrc : Muchas gracias! I think hands are very important in a portrait, and need special attention :)

linainverse23 thank you for the very precise, point-by-point comment. :) I see what you mean about the tree branch, I'll check it out on the original file to see if it's a matter of compression (the original is 5787 X 4093 px at 350 dpi), if it isn't I'll touch it up as needed.

Karisa :)thank you very much! I've worked hard (and I'm still working) on my way to paint skin, it's really good to know that it's starting to get were I mean it to be, hands are another pet peeve of mine, IMO they do a whole lot for the mood and the expression...

Thanaban: Thank you very much! :)

ianruff Thank you very much for your appreciation, and also the network request. :)

Hi, Tiziano!
Up to date this one is my favourite of your pieces. Beautiful anatomy and perspective. I love the shading and the colours you've given her: the game of warm oranges of the front of her skin and the cold greens of the back create a wonderful soft contrast.
Congratulations!

Outstanding composition, expression, lighting, everything. Yep, you nailed this one. A runthrough of your techniques would be beneficial to us all if you ever get the chance. Superb! My favorite on CGTalk

[Thaldir]

Ilya: thank you very much! I'm trying to push the envelope a bit in my latest pieces, knowing what works and on which level is a great feed-back and great encouragement to keep working hard.

Joe: thank you a lot! Being always on the prowl for interesting tutorials to learn from, it feels a bit strange, in a very good way, to be asked for a runthrough. :)
One, however, will be made (with work-in-progress images) as soon as I'm free from my latest deadline (guess it will be ready by mid-March).

[RafaTer]

amazing work Tiziano!!! I love the compositon, colour treatment and girl expression. And the monkeys and their fur are incredible!!
Congratulations 5 stars for me ;)

[Thaldir]

Thank you, your enthusiasm is very appreciated ! :)

[kamleshtalpada]

[Thaldir]

Thank You ! :)

I think it's just about perfect. The changes in the skin tones between light and shadow are magical. An inspiration.
