Description

at last after a week of consistant work it is done.
when i started the face ( the only part of the body that i had a photo of it and is taken by Marino Parisotto Vay )
http://www.marinoparisotto.com
there was no spicific idea in my mind of what the rest would be.
balance took me a lot of time ,however making progress was well. at first i tried to change the face to a persian style like giving her unieyebrow and lots of other changes . then changed the colors cause the dominant color in reference photo is brown . and then added body using painter and photoshop. background was the last thing added.
i thought of putting a story behind it or doing it in a fantasy way,but in the end simplicity overcame all my thoughts.
i hope you like it.
the work is done by photoshop cs2 & painter ix.

Superb work, your details are stunning and I love those colour tones!

Wow, nice and soft. The shading on her arm towards her breast doesn't define her physique. I'm only saying so because I can't seem to find where her collarbone is.

You have an amazing definition of light and shadow, and you get a +10 from me. I do absolutely love this rendition and it's a week well worth the time.

top marks from me, excelent work. Did you paint the backround by hand?

The only thing that bothers me is all the green in her forhead, I would add a little skin tones on top of that, maybe a tad bit of orange and skin color. But let some of the green still show through.

wow!! this is amazing work, great background to foreground depth - did you create the background?

It's beautiful. I just wonder abit about the very thin shadow between her eyebrows. At first glance it looks ok, but then it looks more and more like she has some sort of unibrow going on. Not much, but a bit.

Really love the wall behind her.

thanks for your comment .
the background is not created by hand completely i have used wraping paper .
the line between eyebrows is not shadow ,persian girls have unieyebrow it is a part of eyebrow. and it is a beauty mark here in iran.

stunning colour work on the face to say the least. Really beautiful piece. I think a few parts could use work (eg her hand), but overall it was a pleasure to look at.

composition would benefit from an enlargement on the top imo

also, if a reference was used for this please post it

Beautiful! Great lighting, expression, details and textures. Personally I think there is a little too much red on the tip of her nose and above her lip (under the nose), but what do I know?

I especially love the detail in the wallpaper and her garment. Great work!

Beautiful work. Nice details on the dress and she looks very pretty.

i loved the wall. you seemed to work a lot on the face but then the dress isn't very worked. it looks a bit 'messy', not entirely but it's somewhat strange, i like the way you made her face, she makes me remind a bit of frida kahlo. +8

Easily your best work, +10. I'd like to see more works in this style in the future, bring em I say!

Great painting

I think you should lighten this a tad I did in PS and I noticed you had alot more detail going on here
you should show off the rest of her dress not hide it in blackness

also if you did use a photo ref this link to the image needs to be placed under your post

I think, It's unbalanced, with all the visual weight on the top right side and too much empty area on the left.this is my opinion, maybe you want this weight.
Otherwise, it's a nice piece.
the colors are rich and perfect composition.

This is beautiful. Your time spent on balance was quite worth it.
Perhaps the hair could need a bit more contrast (some strands), but that's nitpicking. This painting is highly romantic realistic.
