And another Digital Painting

I am pretty happy with the outcome of this one

Doing this one was a lot of fun, even if my hand hurts a bit now My steps are roughly: line art sketch / color blocking / blending / facial lines / hair / effects

When it comes to effects… I added some noise, as well as adjustments via levels and color balance. They can really help enhance the colors and make the image more vivid.

To mention: no liquify this time!

And for resources… make a guess Hint: there is a mirror on my desk.
[I also used this fantastic brush set by `DanLuVisiArt [link] ]

I hope you like it

Lovely details here!
I love the shiny details in the iris.
I might tone done the brow bone highlight just slightly, however.

Otherwise, stunning work!

No liquefy ! GREAT! I thought you liquefied this! The texture are somewhat "moist" and smooth. Awesome job with this art!

I had used liquify in other paintings to correct shapes, mostly. I only used brushes for this, I can control brush pressure via my tablet pen, so I can achieve transparencies… it's mainly about constantly taking up "in between colors" and go over the edges lots of work

Thank you

Ahh! That's where liquefy is most applicable. Now I know! You're welcome!

It is an easy fix if an eyelid ended up being too droopy or lips being too small. It's taking advantage of working digitally

I should actually add to the description that I used this fantastic brush set by `DanLuVisiArt [link]
They've been on my Photoshop for ages, I tend to forget to mention them I used one of them for the skin texture
