My First Retouches

[urbanheart]

Ok, so I've been lurking in the shadows for a while, and finally decided to try my hand at retouching some photos. Leave me some advice, cause I'm new at this and could use all the help I can get!


With this one, I just did basic touch-ups. Removed wrinkles and blemishes, brightened her eyes up a little, and added a few highlights.

This one really didn't need anything retouched, because I guess it was already done by the photographer or whoever. I was just playing and decided to glam it up a little. I changed the color of her lips slightly, added a bit of blush, changed the color of one of her eyes, added eyelashes, and highlighted a bit of her face and hair.

I like these, in the second one the highlight on the nose in my opinion might be a little much but I like everything else you did to the picture. good job!

I like what you've done, but to be honest this is the "easy" way of doing stuff. Meaning that you're retouching retouched images Tones/overall colour, nasty hair stuff has all been done for you.

Still I like the second image quite a bit, I'd just think that with sticking those lashes on, the make-up artist (you) would've put on some mascara and eyeliner as well. They look a bit stuck on top now.

Looks good otherwise.

You did a little retouch and it was okay...I'd like to see more of a complex retouching work of yours...
