Description this is my very first submission to DA woooooohoooooo, i made this in photoshop cs5 and i have no idea how long it took cause i started it 2 weeks ago but i didnt spent a lot of time on the computer cause Ive been very busy as it is my senior year and all. i know its not perfect heck i don't even know if its good but im still learning and discovering new tools everyday, did you know that the smudge tool is incredible? i'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to critique my artwork it would mean a lot to me.
thanks for viewing
peace
edit: i finally fixed it, well only the things that you guys pointed out like the shading and the lips and the hair, i think it looks much better now so i want to give a sincere thank you to all the people who commented on this picture i truly couldn't have done it without you i sound like i just won the Oscar XD

This is beautiful! I know nothing of digital art, so it always impresses me when I meet someone who does. And can I just say that I love her hair? That light almond/minky brown you used for the midtone is one of my favorite colors on earth. Not a 'traditional' favorite color, but I don't think that can be helped, haha. Lovely drawing!!

Salma-H In reply to Amelia-Beth [2010-12-15 00:54:32 +0000 UTC]

aw, first of all just wanted to say that you made my day even though it's 2:35 am in egypt
second i think it's awesome that you like almond brown cause that shows that you're unique and brown reminds me of coziness and warmth so i think its a lovely color too
and last i cant say that i know alot about digital art, most of the time i'm just winging it
i am honored that you commented and favored my picture

This is really good! I love this. T-Sweazys one of my favorites.
If I had one suggestion it would be that her eyelashes look a little clumpy up top, as if she has on way too much mascara. You could possibly in the future have the eyelashes taper off. That's just my opinion though.

Good luck with your senior year!!

thank you for commenting it really means a lot oh and i'll definetly keep your tip in mind next time i do this kind of art again.
ps since i'm taking physics, biology and chemistry as a major this year i need all the luck i can get so thanks for that too

aamaji [2010-12-13 11:35:47 +0000 UTC]

very good

as for a critque i would say that her lips need more blending and softening towards the outside because they look kinda stuck on there. And her jumper arm things need more shading compared to her face which is very well shaded.

but overall very very good especially for your first submission

Salma-H In reply to aamaji [2010-12-13 22:37:54 +0000 UTC]

Wow, the eyes are great! That's what attracted me the most. Umm, but is her hair the right colour?? xD Great Job though!

Salma-H In reply to Sandy-Shoes [2010-12-13 11:09:57 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the comment and as for the hair, i thought i'd do a dark base first then add the highlights and whatnot but i guess it could use some more highlights but right now, just imagine that Taylor died her hair brown
ps this is the first time i tried the whole digital painting and vector thing so i'm still a newbie

did you use filter->blur->surface blur? surface blur makes life a lot easier
nice job anywhoo

Salma-H In reply to bearOnUnicycle [2010-12-13 11:13:22 +0000 UTC]

so what exactly does surface blur do other than blur the surface? XD i mean how would it be useful in this picture?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

bearOnUnicycle In reply to Salma-H [2010-12-14 00:47:33 +0000 UTC]

surface blur creates patches of color with sharp boundaries, giving the image a painted/vector look
