French perfume

This week-end I had some time to work at this illustration. I used one of my photos as a reference model. It is not perfect but looks pretty realistic.
Comments always welcome.

Excellent work Lupen! I did something along the same lines quite a number of years ago - there's something about shiny glass things!

Lupen,
For me it is just FANTASTIC.
Go ahead for more please!!!!!

Perfect Lupen, just exlcellent, you get it. and as Javier said I wait for more of your work. again 5 Stars job. Regards BP

I especially like the glass beads....amazing detail you created.

Very realistic..........beautiful shiny effects and reflections

Excellent. The glass is totally transparent and the highlights and reflections define the shape of the bottle.

Hi, have a question. Looking at your wireframe, it looks like you used a blend, though it's not obvious. Did you use a blend and then use blur on it? Was curious because I would have used a circular fill and wonder how to make my own work better by studying other's work.

Yes, as you noticed, the glass has no outlines. Thanks for your attention.

If you referr to the circular "sun" in the background yes. I first blurred the inner circle (yellow), then blurred the other one (orange), to better position them; then I blurred (25 steps, if I remember well). I hope I answered your question. Thanks for asking me and your positive comment. Lupen

If I had to choose I'll choose an elliptical fill, if you adjust the profile you can achieve the same effect and your drawing is lighter (talking about size) which permits you to work faster on it.
Fills and profiles are a really great tool!!!!
Best regards and again very well done

Thanks a lot for suggestions. It's true, blending slows down the refresh of the screen, so once I am satisfied with the blend, I remove it till the final render. Thanks again, lupen

Real nice piece of work, Lupen. Very photorealistic.

Perfect! Great work.
