I want your help. I like your side. Your words are interesting. I got here by miksate and I started reading. I became interested in the topic and I am thinking it I could use your texts on my paper, only with the quotation. Please answer, thank you.
I have learned some esseitnal things through your site post. One other subject I would like to express is that there are numerous games on the market designed in particular for toddler age small children. They consist of pattern recognition, colors, pets, and shapes. These generally focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This makes little children occupied without feeling like they are studying. Thanks
This is amazingly easy. Even on an iPod. I have done this and even though some of the proportions are wrong( soz I am a perfectionist ease don't take this offensively) it looks amazingly realistic. The eyes colour is awesome as well. When I. First started reading it I thought, ok the eyes are grey. That's interesting. Turns out the eyes were going to be sea green!!
How can I learn this in simple way :/
An interesting dicssusion is worth comment. I believe which you ought to write regarding this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but usually persons are too couple of to chat on such topics. To one more location. Cheers

wonderful !!!!!
that is good job
Hi Blakred,you can use any Soft Round brush, but make sure its hardness is set to 0%then you can adsjut its size according to the image.and you are done.let me know if you need further assistance.
Very good however I recommend dimming the eyes to add realism
Some of the proportions layout is wrong, like the corners of the mouth should line up directly with the pupils of the eyes, not the inside edge of the irises, to name one, and the distance between the eyes is equal to the size of one eye. The ears, ( if seen ) would top out at the underside of the arch of the yebrows, and the bottom of the lobes would be lined up with the bottom of the nose. The layout compliments and confirms itself when you follow what I have stated. Find a book on how to draw lifelike for further instruction.
Why don't you make a tutorial of your own, a genius of life drawing? =) Show everybody how to do it properly, jealous b..... =)
OMG ur one of my best photo-shopper.. keep on the good work!
