Shades of Gray - Jessica Biel

This is my first grayscale vexel! =) I posted a progression for it and basically got through most of it a while back. I decided it was time to post it, or else it would end up sitting in the dark corners of my computer forever :P I realized I'm not a huge fan of gray scales b/c of the lack of color, but I'm glad I gave it a shot.

I've gotten a new hair method. I think works for me. I wanted to try a new effect, making it look as if she's deep in a shadow and is slowly stepping out into the light.

The hair has quite a bit of detail in it so take time to see the full view please! :) It wasn't very hard at all, and I ended up freehanding most of the left and right side. I'm glad to say I've made an artistic improvement in the past couple of months, always dreading doing hair, and now I finally enjoy it :) Now i have a couple of collabs to finish/start and a few vexels done by request of friends. So i'll be pretty busy this summer :)

Enjoy!

choochootrain 8 Jun 06 - 08.37pm	Haha, I love how you included color because you like colors in vexels, even if its grayscale. THis is absolutely gorgeous, pretty much flawless.The shading of her neck could be smoother, but that's pretty much the only 'negative' thing I can find. Aside from that, there are a million positives. For one, her skin is just gorgeou.s LIke, totally amazing. Her hairline is realistic, which, admittedly, can be hard to find. Her lips are eyes are prefect, so realistic <333 it.

I'm not keen on greyscale with blue eyes.. that's number 1 on my tackyness list but it's not just yours or anything.. it's all the time when people do that. The hair more than makes up for it haha soo amazing :O

Carina 7 Jun 06 - 11.26pm	Whoa. Freakin' amazing.
Invinsibleforce 7 Jun 06 - 11.21pm	GO JOJO! I love the hair. You need to teach me :D
maganle 7 Jun 06 - 11.04pm	it's so realistic and detailed, that the highlights stand out, to me... since they're kind of lacking. it doesn't look TOO out of place, though. *sigh... so pretty.
Chloe 7 Jun 06 - 10.57pm	I viewed the full size and the hair is GORGEOUS!! There's so much detail! What method did you use for it? It kind of looks like stroke-path... but my hair never looks like that =P Do you use gradients in your hair? I haven't tried that yet, but I know people do and it does look amazing. I like how you made the eyes blue. I think it'd be really cool if she had blue highlights in her hair as well, or maybe just one strip of hair with that blue. Anyway, great job!
Rebecca 7 Jun 06 - 10.53pm	Wow! This is really gorgeous!
Annette07 7 Jun 06 - 10.42pm	Out of the whole vexel I LOOOOOVE the hair the most. There's a lot of contrast and it has this shiny quality to it which kind of makes it look almost like a drawing or a digital painting..
lisa_mg 7 Jun 06 - 10.42pm	Holy crap, this is beautiful!
ek3than 7 Jun 06 - 10.33pm	wow love how the eyes stand out. wish i had your skills for hair
