I was not sure if I should post this, but I think I might need some help, shadingwise. 2 days ago my GF asked me to do a portrait of her face, well of course I would
. I used a picture as reference for the outlines and did shading from scratch. Before I go to the otherside of the face, I need some help on the shading, I don't know if it's good shading and dithering. The lips are not finished yet, same goes for the nose and I think I could need some more contrast on the darker areas, well take a look yourself:
Coloured her a bit: Latest Version:
I may say this, I can't show the picture I used as reference because I sure know my GF won't like it if I do, so I'm not asking help for likeness, but help shadingwise would be appreciated.
I was also asking myself how precise can a portrait be in pixels, with the same canvas and colors I used?? Because I don't think she looks that precise, only thing that is nearly correct is the facial expression.
thanks...
-Edit, latest verson isn't realistic anymore, actually it's more surrealistic and scary
, but I like it, I wonder why it's so rough?
(probably overdithered..ugh)
