I think it needs more work if you were going for making graps look younger. All you did was take away his wrinkles around the cheeks, eyes and forehead but he still looks like grandpa. The white beard doesn't say young. All you did to the woman was give her a moll. Keep working on it. I'll come back and vote later.

so how do you think i should change his beard? i tried nothing worked thanx

i think it would help, if you try to remove his beard or change the color of the beard.

I don't think you've really managed the effect, I suggest changing the bear colour and trying to add some hair, maybe remove the glasses as well. For the woman you could draw your own wrinkles using another image as reference with the dodge and burn tools.

what is that on her cheek?

thank you all for your help with this picture, I hope you like it!!!!

nice work author , i like your image. the only thing i could suggest to improve the hair/beard for future entries is not to make the edges so straight. If you look at hair your own hair you can see where the shaft connects to the skin . good example is if you look at granpa's closely you will see where hair connects to skin. the corners of your MOE should hang down over the beard. Please take this as just a little feedback and is ment to help. GL

thank you scratzilla1, for your feedback, it was very useful

very dark hehe GL

Oh no thanks... I think, I'll stay outside Funny idea! Good luck

cute idea but some parts are very blurry and some parts are way too detailed.

Lenaina, I am with you on that! I'll stay outside too.

k5683 thanks. That's what happens when you work freehand on the monitor. I don't use a graphic tablet either. I am saving for a Wacom. Hopefully it will save me from pulling any more hair out of my scalp. He, he, he...
