This is a good friend of mine I did a photo shoot for several years back. hope you like it...her :) (5 years and 3062 days ago)
This is beautiful! Exquisite color match to the earrings.
There is the tinist diagonal dark shadow on the side of the nose, and another that is shaped like a small half circle at the inside corner of the eye. I'd lighten those ever so slightly...
thanks, I see what you are saying about the nose, I'll certainly fix that, but I'm not sure what part of the eye you are talking about...the inside corner?
Yes, just above the inside corner and the eyelid crease. It's barely noticeable, but I have hyper color sensitivity, so I see it really well...
really good work, well done 
why thank you!

IMHO this would improve by replacing the "stones" with a pic of turquoise or something...
Interesting idea, but shadows on the wearer's neck would make it seem more realistic.
CMYK46 - Think I'm made of money??? 
and DanLundberg - there are shadows on her neck ....Maybe you mean at the bottom of the image?? Comments are appreciated, thank you.:-

So, this is what a professional work of art is supposed to look like...my creations really tell me that I need to polish and learn and you are a marvelous teacher. Thank you for WoWing us with this beautiful piece, it is a winner. I am going to refer to your notes, which I appreciate oh so much, many many times. THANK YOU.
ha ha ha ha....I just voted and see it is YOU! I thought you were busy pouring paint. You are one great teacher.
Thanks Olga. I am still pouring real paint too. I just decided to do a digital finger painting while I wait for some real paint to dry. No drying time with digital work.
Beautiful effect of painting but there is one thing that upsets me: it is the position of the shadow, I would have personally put it to the right of the portrait because we see some light coming from the left.
I appreciate what you are saying Denlig but if you look at the original photo you will see the shadow and lighting is in the same position as what I painted.
The light on the photo is obviously coming from more than one direction, hence the main shadow on the left.
Thank you very much for taking time to comment.
Congrats on 1st!
Thanks Rob
