Adriana Lima

This is my contribution to the Holiday/Victoria's secret collab. This is really rushed since i realized how long it had been since i originally agreed to participate.

Lots of areas lack details... like the hands, which i just gave up on. and I wasn't going to try to do her necklace. not enough time or patience. But to make up for it, i spent a little more time on other areas (like the hair).

I tried sampling colors from the original image (which is why some parts of her may look a bit reddish, pinkish?). The skin shading was a NIGHTMARE b/c even with the posterized image to help, the colors and shading were completely off. Apparently, she originally had a whole bunch of purple and white stage lights coming from all directions of her, so it messed around with her skin tone. Where shadows should be, there weren't any. It was just hell.

I got a new technique for the hair. I've always been afraid to vector hair and this is the first time that i'm satisfied with the technique. Hopefully I'll get better at it as I continue to practice.

Andrea 1 Jan 06 - 12.08pm	The hair and the face are probably my favourite part. They are beautifully vexelled. Like Carina said, her stomach looks a little choppy. Not that I don't like it but it kinda contrasts with the detailed faceshading and the hair. If you'r having trouble with posterized skintones that look very off you could also make the original b/w, it helps you see where the shadows are. Or colourize her in one good skincolor. :) You did a nice job. :D

Carina 1 Jan 06 - 11.11am	I love the face shading! The stomach is a bit choppy, you should try making your transitions smoother. The hair is flawless.
