Portrait 5, 6 & 7

As we progressed through the weeks, I can tell I was getting better at observations, although texturing was still a major obstacle to overcome when drawing. I swear I'd go blind just looking at all the patterns repeating themselves.

Portrait 3 & 4

2nd week's portrait. I think the man looks slightly out of shape, especially the chin.

Portrait 1 & 2 (First Portraits)

My first two portraits. I used to think they were pretty good considering I'm never good at drawing. lol It's also my first time having to draw anything life-like. Very tedious and difficult for me to grasp, but I did it! However, in retrospect, this is actually quite terrible done considering how off they look to the original. lol

Make-Up 4 AbZ

My friend asked me if I could add some spice to her photos, and here they are:

This is Abz after some Scotch, Brandy and other hard boozes:

Pony Mock-up

I find this worth posting because it's the first time I ever tried using my Photoshop skills to do some "prototyping", and the outcome was pretty GOOD!

Moondancer is a unicorn pony, and a childhood favourite of mine. Sadly her actual toy looks kind of deformed, and there existed other poses from the later era that are more eye-candy. The above pony was what I created in Photoshop from the two source images below.

 

I've actually done this as a quick mock-up to ask for a pony commission, just so people know what I am talking about. I was surprised I found someone who was willing to take on the job! Anyway, the actual product came out pretty close, and I really like the new Moondancer.

This is part of the process where I'm pointing out to the lady about the symbol design that the moon is tilting at a wrong angle and it's overly curved. The colour wasn't exactly satisfactory either. In sum, I needed her to change. lol "Change" is always a scary word for people doing the production, but hey I paid the money, so I had to be pleased!

This is the final product - TADA! Of course the lady couldn't replicate exactly what I wanted on picture because this is handicraft, and she's limited in a sense that there's no engineer or whomsoever to solve her problems, but she definitely did well!  I would say the likeness to what I wanted is 99%! She also tied a nice bow on the mane of the pony, which was a bonus, since I didn't ask for it. The little baby pony beside is an official release, so in fact, the custom pony looks quite "factory".

Rebel Girl: Drubble

After Photoshop

Original

Another photo-retouch, except this is due for assignment. Blended out most of her freckle, give her face slightly more pink, and well....crazy colours for hair and lips. I like how she looks kind of emo, so I named her the Drubble the Rebel Girl.

Photo-Retouch A+++ *****

Photoshop lessons have to my favourite! I'd give it an A+++ ***. It was definitely pure fun. Above is the pic of a normal lady turned ....psychedelic. She may have liked staying the way she looked, but I prefer her like this. Isn't purple skin gorgeous? I like her lips especially.

Added a pic of her with normal skin tone with blue hair and lips, and purple eyes.
