 |
|
I created an image from a black and white pencil sketch I drew 2 months ago, but I'm battling with skin texture (image seems a bit plastic).
Any Ideas?

The general colour and tone seems good, I am no artist but I can give you my tuppence worth.
Perhaps using the heal tool to soften some of the delineation between light and dark shadows, a little more subtle shading. Also adding a slight imperceptible (almost) noise to the image would help with realism.
It's a good image so far though.

thanks hermit, I did try using the heal tool but I seemed to get a sort of burnt effect between the different hues, but I like the idea of the noise effect, you will see around the cheek area I've got a sort of pourus effect which is what I'm realy looking for, but it's quite difficult to do and takes a long time, thanks for the comments though

Here's my latest rendition I've copied a zoomed in aspect to show the texture that I've been trying to achieve. Let me know what u's think....

Have to say you really have nailed the shadows around the nose and the general skin texture is great also. I would be tempted to put a few specular highlights on the lips. Only other thing I can see that needs some attention (imo) is the eyes. They are a little glassy and fake at the moment, it may also be a little too strong a green.
Really good improvements since the last incarnation though gj
