Thanks for uploading Gendaru! I'm glad I screencapped it. I used a reference picture of Penelope Cruz... was planning on doing something cool with it, but ended up just pretty much copying it. Oh well, it was good practice. (PS - That'd be my re-touch time!)

it's hard to not commit when you have a reference. But it's great practice. The color scheme is interesting being mostly muted colors, it has a desert type feeling to it.

good eye-to-hand coorination

So stunning..I always though at one time i wanted to do realism..then i realized it just was not for me...but i applaud people who do it well...Kudos to you.
