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)

I admire you for doing a vexel with that blurry picture o_O

Your vexel is looking awesome for a ref photo like that :D

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.
