I was serious when I said I love your observations on colors and hair. Of course you see it from a different point of view. Just like I might see advertising different from you.
And knowing about these things will help you greatly if you try to draw them ...

Anyway, I prefer woman who don't wear makeup, or at least very little of it. I just don't like the taste ... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Steve: Hope you don't mind our little kidding 'round here ...

Your skills and talent is growing very fast! I like the hair and reflection of skin tones on the sweater.

[RTK]

... hot! And *such* green eyes!

The hair looks amazing and the neck of her sweater makes her look so delicate and feminine.

Ahhh! I will have such (should write "sweet") but I'm always brutally honest so I'll write "great" dreams tonight... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Sorry for the delay in response, but I've been working on our last weekend of Les Mis (2nights our last night [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] ) And tons of other stuff not allowing me time to continuously work on anything. But I've been touching this up off in on.
I did my best with the eyes, took into account more reflective properties & stuff. I softened the side of the face with another, this time stronger, white glow. The eggplant colored lights really don't work with this image, it's more of a whiteroom/outside radiant white kind of feel, but I did give the hair a more saturated color so it's not mistaken for gray! I also gave the lips more of a wet glossy look, does it look alright?
I touched up other minor things too, but here's the result, let me know what u think!

oh, BTW, she's not really asian! I might have just screwed something up, but she's really Indian, FYI

Wow!

Your improvements are spot on, and the hair and eyes are just fantastic now!

You have incredible talent, and I hope you continue to use it.

When you are satisfied with the final image, please post a larger version.

Please, please, please? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Steve,

Great work on the touch ups.

FYI - if you mean Indian as in someone from India then she would still be Asian. A beautiful person no matter where she is from ;-)

yea, I guess technically you're right! I just usually tend to lean towards the Jap/Chinese/Korean's when I describe a person as being asian! Thanks for the comments

Beautiful work Steve, fellow NE-Ohioan! Any constructive criticism I could offer would just be redundant to what has already been said.

Nicely done! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

There is nothing I can say, except if this is your first portrait, I can hardly wait to see the next one! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The few strands of hair falling over her face are an inspired touch and add a casual note to the image. And the way you catured the soft look of her turtleneck is nothing short of genius.

OUTSTANDING IMAGE!!!

Steve,

This is really good. Because it has a particular style considering colors, ligth and draw...simplicity.
No doubt a great, great illustration.
