For a friend <3 - Jessica Alba Vexel

I made this for a very special and amazing person to me.. my friend Drew =)

Originally, I had promised myself that I wouldn't start another vexel until i had finished the others that I had started. But when i came across this jessica alba photo, i immediately thought of Drew. To begin with, she's one of his favorite female celebs of all time, she's pretty and was in a great pose. soo i thought: hell! i'll give it a try.

The light brown/dirty blonde hair gave me such a hard time simply because the shading wouldn't work out. For some reason, when i put shadows (and set the blending options to soft light), it would look burnt, rather than shadowed. Without changinge the blending options, and relying on opacity, it would look grey. So I had to fiddle with a few things to stop that odd reddish color. There are a TON of skin layers (way way more than I usually use). The jeans are covered with a texture to give it a more denim look. Unfortunately, because this had to be resized, a lot of the skin, hair and jean detail were lost.

I did this one as fast as physically possible and there are some parts that i wish I spent more time on, but for now... here's all I've got.

Much love and hugs to my drewbie <3

Raelynn 4 Jan 06 - 06.40pm	That hair is love, and I love the tummy too. The only thing I could suggest would be some more shading on the amr of the right side of the image, only because everything else has more shading, but this is a lovely piece, I hope your friend likes it :)
