Kelly Brook

Aghh i really feel silly posting this after seeing eye-woo's painting :p

I got my Wacom Intuos 2 2 days ago and i started doing a portrait of kelly brook..its unfinished of course but this is my WIP..

Be easy its my first time using a tablet :o

The face looks kind of manly and the head is set way over on one side of the shoulders.

Other than that it's nice.

For a first try it looks REALLY good... I think everything likes great, maybe the head placement like telemakhos said, and the face... but other than that I think it looks great. Nice use of highlights and shading on the legs and other areas.

Nice work

haha "and other area's" man for your first try :X thats pretty awesome!, pretty soon we'll be like eyewoo who?

haah - very good

the highlights seem a bit harsh for that kind of drawing...unless the suit is latex and she's well oiled (there's a nice thought) but other than that - I do believe you chose the right job... lately I find myself wishing to advise people to change jobs - get hired by McDonalds or something

haha @mihai

anyways..... To the Painting..... no offence... but it sort of reminds me of michael Jackson in regards to the head!... other than that its great i think is you smoothened the lines of her face she would look femenine again

Great first attempt!!

I'm gonna try give some tips but i'm new at this as well..

What I've found is that it's easier when you start coloring from a dark base color and go lighter and lighter

Same with the brushes, start from big blobs of color first, and then when you're going to finer details go smaller and smaller with your brush

Then you started on an almost black background, it's something that will mess up your colors somethimes. This also happens when you start with a white background. So you it's good if you take a background color, or even make some kind of texture to paint over, you can always change it to something else later
