Tonight I worked on the skin again. I know there are a few rough areas, I'm going to have to dedicate a bit more time to making the skin smoother. (The forehead... I know it looks really messy and quick, but I am planning to create a nice hairline *hopefully* and most of the messy part will be covered).
I really do hate the current earring, so if anyone has suggestions or resources for decent size earring photos please let me know (:

This is my most current work, it is a vexel of Kate Beckinsale (I like to vexel her) I loved this image and really wanted to try a new style... So much experimeneting and going back and doing things over. still have some smoothing to do in the skin, and wasnt planning to post until I had all the skin done, but I think my contact lenses will start a riot in my eyes if I dont start blinking regularly again.
Comments are appreciated, like I said this is new ground for me and a fresh eye never hurts (:

thank you for posting so quickly! I have been working on this the past two days and have had so much trouble with skin tones, and the ear-ring (which i am sure ill re-do) ... I think I chose a bad image to start with because it is all blurry, so then when I posterize more detail gets lost, but ah Kate Beckinsale <3 lol
eshk :S I just crashed my photoshop to try to copy the refrence photo ): oh well the orginal one is : http://wallpapers.skins.be/kate-beckinsale/kate-beckinsale-1920x1200-22463.jpg (sorry for the nasty ads on the site) |

| wow yeah the original is quite blurry but you're doing an amazing job. The hair will be hard but I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I adore Kate.. she's so perfectly gorgeous without being unusual or anything. Man.. I keep coming in this thread just to stare. |

because skins.be doesn't allow hotlinking/direct linking and so it shows a banner instead.
Here's the picture though:

Ohh, thank you, Kyla! : ) I wasn't even getting a banner I was getting... nothingness : ( I guess it's prejudiced!
I think that's the one picture of this woman I've seen and thought she looked pretty in... and David you're actually improving on that :x Scary. |

All the nice comments make me happy :) There are *many* mistakes when it is full size, well you will see haha
She is really great, I've always thought she was cool but since I saw Underworld, I've been looking at her photos to use. (Scared of the hair in this one) Usually I just to some stroke paths and then *BAM* I'm done, but this time I'll have to try out a few things.
Anyone have some decent jewellery stocks ? I've been looking on google images, but it tends not to be the best resource for things like this. |

| Looks beautiful still! You could just leave the earring out? It looks really hard to do in the original. |

I have been trying a bunch of different techniques on the hair today. None seem to give me very nice results. Would it be a big cop out if I maybe just do black with some suttle highlights ?
Thanks for the tip Linda, I think I will leave the earring out. |

I think you should leave the earring out. I don't really like the earring anyways haha. Hair looks really hard too O__O but I'm sure you'll do great :D
Love the eyes and lips! |

Thank-you Chloe (:
*still* stuck on the hair ): Her hair line is even messed up in the refrence pic. Im going to try working from the darkest tones though maybe that will help give me a fresh look at it. |
