Charlize Theron

My third Vexel: I decided to do Charlize Theron because she is so beautiful and also an amazing actress.

I wanted to try different things, like the hands and the intricate design on her shirt. But after a couple days I realized that I should have choosen a different picture. The hair was extremely difficult and frustrated me the most.

I rushed quite a bit on this one because I wanted to finish it before I went on vacation. And I was anxious to finish it as well. :) The hair was the last thing I did, and I rushed on it.
Here is the Original Image: Charlize

I hope you all like it. :D

4-5 days
Photoshop 7

EDIT// Thank you for all the comments and FAVS!
I was debating whether I should use the same background or use a plain bg, so I decided to combine them.(haha)

choochootrain 13 Apr 06 - 02.57am	You always do amazing jobs. Her face is perfect, exaclty like a real picture. Her right forearm could be just a tad tad tad smoother, but the hair amazes me. That must have been the most ridiculously hard thing, and it came out perfect. Definitely looking forward to more of your work. :] Reply from IT was the most ridiculously hard thing. Haha But yea, I was going to go back in an fix the arm, but I didnt have any time. IT bothers me alot, When I look at it all I see is that ARM!
sleeponthefloor 13 Apr 06 - 02.00am	i was so sure it was a picture when it popped up, i really thought so, especially because you left the rock in there... amazing detail, and such elegant lines. beautiful. Reply from Thank you! Yea, I thought that If I took the rock out, the picture would just be awkward, and it also sets the scene.
