Avril Lavigne - Hard to tell..

I can't really explain the expression on Avrils Face. She seems rather ashamed than confident.

Spent hours and hours on and off as you can see by wachting the progression I posted.
I got sick working on it over and over again. I can't see it anymore. Still I think that this vexel is pretty good. That does not mean that I'm satisfied with it. Because I'm not.

PS 7
Singer: Avril Lavigne

EDIT:
Kept the original but blurred picture as the background.

thatsneakyfox 24 Apr 06 - 11.53pm	It's perfect. I love the lips, they're so... clean and perfect. And the hair. The skin is so smooth... wow... SOMEONE PLEASE FAVORITE THIS so it can get to 100, since you deserve it, and 99 favorites is annoying, and it's bugging me. So hurry up and favorite! ^^

zeminkat 15 Dec 05 - 10.04pm	wonderfulll o_O
FoolishlyIdealistic 5 Dec 05 - 04.57am	The skin is pure perfection! how do you make it look so blended and smooth? just many many many layers? or a certain tool or blur etc? Well if perfection doesnt exist, you've certainly defined it =D...I love this vexel Reply from yellowschwester PERFECTION??? Woha. That's quite a compliment. xDD But there's no perfection out there in the world. Anyways, ... no I didn't use any blurr or tool. All I need is the pen tool, and layers set to "normal" and changing the opacity. ( ;
Joaris333 27 Nov 05 - 07.00am	WOW! i'm shocked. this is going on my favorites list! it's awesome! may i ask, how did you do that hair? it's so detailed and i have NO clue what tool to use in photoshop to get it like that Reply from yellowschwester Hmmm.. my Prgram is German so I can't exactly tell you which tool I used. Pentool, I guess. The same tool which I used for the entire face. I hope I could help you!? xD And thx for faving!
longhairedlv 26 Nov 05 - 08.51pm	I love this vexel, everything is perfect.

Matt 23 Nov 05 - 06.54pm	wow this is amazing, reminds me of shaz's work only thing that bugs me is that the eyes don't seem to have a pupil

kiwiAddicted 21 Nov 05 - 07.23pm	OMG! Beautiful work! Luv your vectors!
Rosie 20 Nov 05 - 04.33pm	i love you're personal style.
Lisette 20 Nov 05 - 01.35pm	She looks kinda sad, like she's thinking about something sad, I love the expression! The only thing I would change is; add some hair to the bottom right part of the vexel, it looks like she's got really thin hair there, also, I would give her a neck in the same color of her face.. But wether you change it or not, I love this thing, and it is going on my fav list =D It's just so damn stunning!!
Kyla 20 Nov 05 - 12.30am	Stunning, you captured lavigne perfectly from the lips to the nose to the eyes to the hair, everything is perfect. Amazing job, one of the best for sure!
kilxover 20 Nov 05 - 12.18am	love the hair and eyes : ) nice job!
Linda 19 Nov 05 - 11.35pm	I'm so glad you've finished this! It's incredible, you captured her perfectly. I can't decide which bit is my favourite either it's just amazing, one of my favourite vexels ever! Reply from yellowschwester O____o Thanks! xD hug
Soopke 19 Nov 05 - 10.13pm	OMG, this is beautiful!! I love everything about it!! :D
karolina 19 Nov 05 - 06.57pm	That is stunning! I love it, it's so pretty! The hair is like..whoa! <3
Ilaria 19 Nov 05 - 05.57pm	Yay! You finally finished it! clicks the add to favourites button I really love this vexel, and I'm proud to have followed the progression so I could see it "grow up" like a little baby...lol! Anyway, it's hard to tell which is the part I like the most...the lips? the hair? the EYES (omg, the eyes! screams like a teenybopper) ? There's one thing I don't like too much though (I'm only saying this cause I had to find a flaw to this flawless masterpiece :P) and it's the lighting under her eye...I don't know, I believe you should have lowered more the opacity... but oh, well, it's just a detail. <3 Edit: I mean the white part under the right eye (her left eye basically)... Reply from yellowschwester LOL. You are proud?? LOOL. That's _SO sweet. hug Could you possibly mark the part you don't like? Do you mean the light part which actually is spread all over the skin.. do you mean that this part comes to close to the eye?? LOL. Sorry, seems like I can't follow you but I'd love to know what you mean so that I can make that better the next time or even correct it. xD But thanks a million. I love constructive critique like that and ... comments with actual content!! hugs again
Echoia 19 Nov 05 - 05.38pm	I'm glad you at least admit it is 'pretty good'. I'm so sick of seeing gorgeous vexels submitted with, 'Uhg. I'm not happy with this.' Jut rub it in my face that you're better than me and still not happy with what you can do, huh? : ) hah. I think this is GORGEOUS. I think there's something about the face that's a little bit 'off' but it's just... beautiful. It's so soft and gauzy. The hair is amazing. Reply from yellowschwester Thanks a million. LOL... No I didn't want to make you feel that way. You know I have a friend who used to be way worse at school that I am. Then - last year all of sudden she got better marks than I did. So when she got those marks she always came to me saying: "Awww... I suck. I'm soooo stupid. I could've done way better.." and stuff. So sorry. What I meant is that I know that the vexel isn't exactly bad or something.. it's just like ... now that I'm done I see some parts I don't like and that piss me off and then I start to getting sick of looking at it and stuff. xD hugs echo xD Thanks! ( ;
CHRISTINARRR 19 Nov 05 - 05.30pm	this..is absolutely beautiful. you captured the..i dont know...emotion?..perfectly. you should be real proud of this. it's going on my favourites :) Reply from yellowschwester Thx! + Thanks again for the fave xD
KahlieRain 19 Nov 05 - 04.52pm	this is absolutely stunning! how did u do the hair omg i can never get it! i love it all! //edit// omgosh if you make tutorial can you plz do one on hair coz i have difficulties in doing hair n there is no good tutorials out there on hair(the way you make it look) well i am looking forward to more of your work... they leave me in awe :) Reply from yellowschwester I made it with the pen tool. I didn't know how to use simulate pressure when I made that. ( ; Thanks a million!
Turp 19 Nov 05 - 04.35pm	Ahh those lips, I always had so many issues with her lips but you made them perfectly.
Champloo 19 Nov 05 - 04.27pm	Wow yellow, there is no reason you should hate this. <3 It's truely wonderful Reply from yellowschwester Thx hun!! hug I don't exactly hate it either. xD

palaina 19 Nov 05 - 04.08pm	awesome work, i like how you did the eyeshadow.
Waiting 19 Nov 05 - 04.08pm	Wow. The hair is amazing. Everything is. You should make a tutorial! I thought I wasn't good at explaning things then I wrote a skinning tutorial but it helped people. Thats off topic but you should! Reply from yellowschwester I might. Now that so many people asked me to.. well I might. But not an overall tutorial. Just on some specific parts. That's easier. xD xD
Trinidadhunni 19 Nov 05 - 04.01pm	Flawless
Kat 19 Nov 05 - 03.57pm	incredible hair and its really really smooth! Excellent job!
Stella 19 Nov 05 - 03.30pm	"That does not mean that I'm satisfied with it. Because I'm not." I find that hard to believe. GOODNESS, this is wonderful. Reply from yellowschwester No some parts of the vexel just pi** me off. xD Hate it. See, that's hard to explain. I think that the vexel looks good, but still I had expected something different. Thx for the comment! hug
Rick 19 Nov 05 - 03.22pm	I luv it, you did so good on her i find it hard to believe your not pleased with her. There's so much work done in the whole picture that i can't see where you might have slaced off any. i'm going to give you a squeeze ya for it.
Manda 19 Nov 05 - 03.21pm	write a tutorial. . . k? k. lol i love it :D --- aww just a quick one just like how you do it, enough for people who already vexel to understand :D Reply from yellowschwester A tutorial? I can't! I really suck at explaining and others than that everything is said! Just browse through the tips and stuff and if you want to know something particular, just ask me. I'll try to help you but I really can't write a whole vexel tutorial. I just suck at things like that. xD But thanks! hug
Natalie 19 Nov 05 - 03.20pm	Oh wow you are my new idol. ;_; worships Reply from yellowschwester WTF!? Are you kidding me? There's no doubt that you are. hugs to death xDDD kiss .... can't believe this comment is actually coming from you. O_o
Till 19 Nov 05 - 02.52pm	This sounds very clichée, but I really thought it was a photograph from the thumbnail. I love it! Reply from yellowschwester Thx lol. I don't mind the clichée. xD ( ;
Mattness 19 Nov 05 - 02.25pm	It's... tries to find other words than others said looks at it again can't think of anything else perfect! My favourite part has to be the eyes. Or no, it's the hair. Or maybe the lips? Skin shading? I don't know. All I know is that I really love this and I'm gonna fav it. =D Reply from yellowschwester Theeehee.. you're cute. Thx for the fave. hug xDD You guys make my day! ( ;

Reply from yellowschwester I always love your comments because.. dunno, you're the only one I knew before I came here and I guess that that's why I'm always waiting for you to comment!!! xD So thanks for that and then I have to thank you again for flattering me! kiss xD

marta 19 Nov 05 - 01.20pm	I was waiting for the final version and I really love it, perfect work, perfect shading! <3 :D You're soooo good! Reply from yellowschwester Aw thankies!!! hug Thanks!
zummi 19 Nov 05 - 01.08pm	the hair, eyes, lips, nose, etc etc LOOKS PERFECT!! (omg i swear i didnt read Carina's comment while i wrote tht :o ) the only critique i have is that there is no "light" on her nose and some of her skin ..which makes it look a -little- flat ><; :) nevertheless, a stunning piece, good job =) straight to my favs :) Edit: Hehe, I looked at the original photo as well to see if there were any highlights ;) So its unfair to blame you :D Its really beautiful..has this dream-like quality to it.. soft soft touches screen Reply from yellowschwester LOOOL. Thanks!! I looked at the original Picutre one more time and I couldn't find any "highlight" at the nose. o_O Because usually I do give noses their "lights" because I think that that's pretty realistic and beautiful. Anyways! Thanks! Thanks for faving - too.
danniellah 19 Nov 05 - 12.58pm	i agree its perfect :)
Carina 19 Nov 05 - 12.47pm	This is AMAZING! The eyes, the lips, the hair, it's perfect! Reply from yellowschwester Thank you hun!! (; hug
