Description

Minako Kotobuki

I thought I'd try out something new. I must say, as painful and frustrating as it can be, I really like creating art in this style.

This is my first attempt at something like this so any critique is greatly appreciated. I hope to improve my skills and to create a better standard of art.

Good photorealism. :D Try to notice a bit more the different colors involved in the shadows. The lines are sometimes a little bit too sharp and not transitional enough (jawline) so it looks like a photograph from afar but a magazine collage when you zoom in close. One thing a lot of people won't consider as well is light reflection. For instance, sometimes you can cast a shadow, like beneath the chin onto the neck, but at certain angles, if the person is wearing a light colored-shirt and the lighting is bright enough, the shirt color will reflect VERY subtly onto the shadow and create a different lighting. Very few people become aware of this immediately and it's probably not an issue in this picture alone, but I thought I'd pass the word along. :D
