Doutzen Kroes Digital Paint 2

I guess I don't have to tell you that you have skills I would kill for. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)" /> You're really good at what you're doing and although I'm not that much into portraits I have to say yours is one of the best digital drawings I've seen so far.

To draw faces in a realistic way is difficult 'cause skin isn't just flat but it has structure. It has pores, small unevenness and those little hair. And to add light reflection on skin is also not that easy. I have to say you coped with all these difficulties; and that's awesome. I also like the way her eyebrows turned out, they're detailed and have a nice form. Not to mention her eyes with these amazing eyelashes! The only problem I have with her face is the mouth. For me it looks a little like plastic. Or better: like she has some plastic wrap around her lips. I guess they should look glossy but for me it's too much and that's why it looks unrealistic.

The richness of detail on her hair is also very impressive. It doesn't look like a wig or something but like real hair with the different coloured strands. And the hair-band is a nice accessory to not let it look too boring. Else I have to say the ear looks great! That might sound strange but ears are difficult to draw 'cause of their form and all the shadows you have to add. And here comes my second (and last) point I have to make. The earring doesn't fit with the rest. Not 'cause of the character it shows or so but 'cause it doesn't look like it's a real part of the picture. It's too outstanding. How should I explain...when the whole picture were a poster, the earring would be a real one which pierces it. I hope you get what I mean. I think one problem is the perspective, it's frontal and doesn't fit with the angle of her head.

Overall your work is stunning and the two little points I made do not change this fact. You did a great job, really!
