why the legs are like this? Top half is nicely done.

caricature n. A representation, especially pictorial or literary, in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately over exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect. (it should still look like the person)

(It's okay.. many of the other peeps in this contest are doing the same thing... but I can see it's fallen on deaf ears so I give up)

this for charicature contest. i make like cartoon. very funny ^.^

well, the way i 'see' it is that this contest has not fallen on deaf ears, but lays before blind eyes, as we cannot hear the words we read, but instead we see them. either that, or they are all retarded and dont get it. whether or not this strictly follows the guidelines, i was making this entry as a joke. red flag it if you want, and have it removed, i dont care. when i see a contest that i am serious about i may spend a day or two working on it, and its usually in the top 10. (thats how it was on pst) take a look at my personal digital art on my profile and see for yourself. or you could just pick up the current issue (59) of Advanced Photoshop Magazine and read my feature. have a nice night (or erm.. morning)

It's better now

very pretty and super cool.. I'll let someone else help you on the edges (they are very sharp) .. I just learned how to manipulate fur and I'm really not too clear on the subject.. but this piece is really amazing.. good luck

very nice, but try to work on the edges of the face. maybe just soften it some its very sharp.

Agree, need to use the smudge tool to drag some hairs out past the edge of the face to make it look more realistic.

good attempt

Nice jobsource light comes from her left shoulder, all shadows must tend to the opposite direction,source light on the puppy comes from the other direction you need to use burn tool a little on her right cheek,now we need to know where shadows and shading should take place, since girl's hair is heavy on her left side of her forehead and cheek you need to make this the basic areas for working,so start to drop some shadows under her tuft on forehead and cheek,use burn tool to gradient shading on the right cheek,right side of the nose and under her eyes,look at the source you used for reference

Amazing job, but I thing you should add some more shadows. GL

nice

Thanks for the tips i'll rework on the shadows and the edges!

I hope she has a great personality.
