Great job with that red dress!

[mitsuki-youko]

Nice work!! tho her stomach imo is still a bit too flat

See how in the orig reference, there were more slight arches for the abs?

Hope that helps

[snakker]

Ohh, I see what you mean! thanks!

[snakker]

I tried fixing it, let me know what you think @mitsuki-youko

And a work in progress, currently in color flats - gonna grab a bite

cheers

lol forgot to upload it:

[mitsuki-youko]

AWE yea!! there u go @snakker! this looks awesome!! Great work!

i think the only other thing i noticed at the moment is - this area looks a bit too pointy

in the reference its a but more wrinkly but less pointy

other than that, this looks great!

[daceronine]

Good progress all around mate. Are these part of the exercices or just personal studies?

[snakker]

Thank you! Will fix that as well 👍

[snakker]

Well, I look up stuff on pinterest to have reference for the folds exercises but then something catches my eye and so I add that to my “folds.psd” and when I get to it I either paint or draw it - like that figure with the skull or the ballerina 😅

[snakker]

Aaand I'm back for more!

Fixed the notch @mitsuki-youko mentioned and well, I've uploaded it so many times I decided to add some random flare XD

[mitsuki-youko]

noice! I LOVE the flair u added! gives it so much more excitement

[snakker]

Thank you! @mitsuki-youko

here's the other one I was doing, this time I used a round brush mostly for the shading

cheers

[mitsuki-youko]

woah your skin shading looks amazing!

[snakker]

Thanks! @mitsuki-youko

Been messing around with zbrush a bit, tried making a bust XD still need to watch the videos tho

cheers

[matthewwemes]

looks pretty good for just messing around! lots better than the sculpting attempts I've made so far

[LunarPowered]

No critique here! I really like how soft the image looks. Perspective is very nice as well. n_n

[Kaz_0]

Oh wow the skin looks really good ! And the clothes as well. Really nice folds.

[daceronine]

The baillarina girl looks really good! I assume it's a gradient map applied over the shadows layer?

The cheeckbones and jaw seem a little off... l had to put them side to side to try to idenitfy what was bugging me.

Obviously we are not aiming for 100% match, just to capture the feel and visual look of it, but I couldn't help notice it.

But man, that shading is REALLY good, and the rest of the whole thing is also very well captured.

And the 3D head is also expertly done. overally you clearly have really good 3D spatial space awareness.

[mitsuki-youko]

noice! dat be lookin good for just "messing around"

[snakker]

Thank you! Yeah, I noticed it was a bit off XD I see the lower face kinda creeped forward
The shading was pure brushwork, in this case I used the soft brush from Marc's beginner brushes almost exclusively - I almost never use the soft brushes because I like getting a painterly look (visible brush strokes to a degree) but I'm currently experimenting with different brushes to see how they affect the outcome. Must admit that the soft brush speeds up the shading a lot
