Retouch critic

You must be sick of me already

It's suposed to be seamless.

Take a close look at the ear, it took me an hour to remove all the hair

What distracts me are the white spots at the left of her eye, they immediately caught my attention away.

And maybe you'd fix the eyes a bit, eyeballs look excellent if you give them a slight blue hue. You always do that when painting, eyeballs are never plain white.

Oh, and the hair on her ear is still visible

Yeah I didn't know if I should keep the white spots.
I always go crazy with the eyeballs I'm going to give that blue hue a try.

Thanks.

I think on the original, her eyes, the color part, look more round, and the retouched version...the black edges that you darkened look a little more rough almost like angled edges going around. Maybe just round it out a little more. I like the skin work, and also the slimming down of the fingers.

I'm sorry but this annoys me. English is not her first language and I think she does one helluva lot better than most native English speakers!!!

I luv that. You should copyright it! Patrick, could u clarify blue in the eyes. Normally the whites would have an element of red ie veins but I'm sure ur tryin to say something else.

i think what he means is that, the whites of eyes are rarely stark white...the whites usually have an ever so slight blueish tint to them

Exactly! There is no plain white in nature, so a little hint of blue in the color makes the eye more realistic. Or even better a little bit more blue than the overall mood of the picture. It looks a bit odd to have such a cold blue tone in a very warm picture.
