Who is this??¿¿

[Tomsan]

Do you know who this is??

what about now

I do not know what to do with her hair. I just look at tutorials and I cant recreate something that looks good. Including this issues is the marking between her stuck up hair (going horizontal) and her lose hanging hair (going vertical).

I am doing this to practice btw. tried shading with different types of layer masks.. pff so much to learn.

comments on shading are welcome, but ill probably wont change them on this picture.

CHUT UP!!

thanks!

Again, practice with shading, I notice I am getting better. I now combine a lot of techniques, of which I am not sure if it is wise. I use a normal layer with low opacity (black) for hard shades, I use layer mask with multiply, and layer mask with screen, and I also use a lot of burn and dodge tool.

anyways, here it is.

btw the explosion is also made by me, little tutorial showed me how, extremely easy.

it was a bit skewed, and the double explosion wasnt any good, fixed it

I think it is way too simple and needs some detail.

The lightning on the piece is pretty off.

Not saying you should follow this blindly but there's definitely something to be learned from it;

pretty helpful tut thks, when I looked at it again youre right, the shadings seem/are off. Its probably because the reference pic i used. I think there were multiple lamps used for the stock photo.

Haha, when I went to bed yesterday I just knew, at least someone would write such a comment. thx for proving me right ;)

Again a shading try, I am not super happy with it, but I didnt know how to make it better.

Plz do advice about one specific item. I made a little elevation thingy on the forehead of yoda, I doesnt really make any sense but I didnt hate it so I left it. should I remove it or not?
