Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated; however please give me an example to do so if you give constructive criticism. Thanks.

I will send you some information on retouching this face.

You could have blended the two,why paint over the picture, I dont understand what you was trying to do.

I could of blended the two but I didn't have to. The contest theme was to take a picture of someone old and turn them into what they might have looked like young. I'll just end by saying thanks for NO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WHATSOEVER!

it would be better if the splaches were cleared

I am still learning on how to draw in digital andhow to create skin texture correctly. therefore the only feedback i can provide is that i like your entry. sorry.

I'm still learning too and I agree with the different misblending. It was my first attempt without any tutorials but I wish I had Sparken's before I tried. Oh, well. Better luck next time. Is it any consolation that I used the same nose, mouth and eyes?

nice
