I've been lurking around for quite some time, but never participated and one of your fellow admins nagged at me to be active, so here I go:
My friend Lisa asked me to make "something cute" for her livejournal icon. I've only worked on this for a couple of hours so far, it's not some big project or anything, and while I'm trying not to keep adding colors, it's not my main concern.
The big issue I have is that I don't really like the dithering, but I also want the shading to me more realistic than that on her left cheek. So, cc would be appreciated, but just to throw it out there - it doesn't have to be
exactly like the ref photo, I'd like to exaggerate some things, like making the eyes larger and darker...
And just for fun - this is the steps I saved for a 'progress' animation I'll make when I'm done:
That's about it, I think. Hope you all had a great holiday.
