hallo Zapan… thanks… and sorry for no elfs… just me… haha… :stuck_out_tongue:
thanks you shakes… its fun to play with shadows and light… but I´m kind of “timid” don´t dare to do too much… a shadowchicken s the word maybe… :smiley:

and some more smudge and some minor changes to the shoulders… and soon time to do the fur… ops… :blush: the hair… stranded out some of it and later on getting into details…
and playing with some colors too…

CYa… :wavey:

This looks really cool! I would check the cheek structure and the location of the mouth. They seem to be too far down.


#13

Hey Mona!

I’ve just discovered your new thread, cool!:bounce: A new outbreak of creativity after the challenge!:slight_smile:
This looks like a great start, I’m looking forward to see your progress with this piece!

Hiya Mona,

I echo everyone’s sentiments here ~ I think this is coming along really nicely. Keep up the good work! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Like your lighting gif!!


#16

hallo womball… been looking at that and changed a little bit, thanks :slight_smile:
Sabrina… thanks you and welcome :bounce: gotta try a human sometime… haha
Rebeccak: thanks … :bowdown:
shakes: when I did the GIF… I sat here and said to myself, lights on… lights off… and when it didn´t work the first time I asked myself… where did I put the lightbulbs. the lights won´t go on… :surprised

I better get back and smudge more skin… this is fun, every little wrinkle just dissapear… Photoshop is more effective than wrinklecreams… :wink: haha

a little nosejob


#18

It looks better, but I think you could still trim off half of that distance. I don’t think the distance between the nose and mouth is that great.


#19

great to see you working in here mona. the start looks great.
about the mouth, yeah it actually looks like its a bit low in the position wich could come from the looking down. also, the distance usually is a bit bigger there if somene has a button nose :slight_smile:

highlighting on the lips/chin-area in the right softness and mass definition probably clear the angle :slight_smile: (had to fight with the same in my desire piece) looking forward to your next update :slight_smile: keep up the great work Mona :slight_smile:


#20

Mona,

Looking good! I think the left shoulder is a bit bright, but the definition of the right is coming along nicely. Have been out of town for a bit, my apologies for the delayed reply! Looking forward to your update. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

a start on an image i had in my head since a couple of weeks from a forest near by…


#25

wow that looks nice…

Also I liked the style in which you did that portrait. keep up the good work :slight_smile:


#26

Wow, lovely work Mona! :slight_smile: I’m not sure I see any GPs? :smiley: Only kidding you…I really think you’d do a lovely set of natural images, like the early naturalistic work of illustrator Beatrix Potter.

Nice to see your new work!


#27

Hey there Mona!

So nice to see you back here with something new:) ! And I really like it, especially the sky seems to be very good for me:thumbsup: …perhaps the foreground is a bit too dark, it’s hard to see the details…
And I have to admit that I haven’t seen your forest picture before, also very pleasant and with an interesting style…definitely want to see more of this:bounce: !

Nice day for you!
