[r_dg]

hi there, i keep practicing my skills of retouching and i hope to be improving
here is a picture of a woman i tried to take 10 or more years off of her LOL
what do you think?

Sorry, but the skin is way over processed. Too smooth, too plastic. Nice work on the hair. More work on the fingers.

i know hehe, i have to give her back some wrinkles here and there...

Maybe a little more something under the eyes?

I can pin it down.

I'd kinda lift her chest some too ;-)

here is my second AFTER added some wrinkles around eyes, corrected some nose lights and lifted breasts

[mileeeeeeenaaaa]

i dont really like the nose, it looks like it has a crater in the middle. lol
but i like what you've done with the rest
just try to add some more texture back into the skin

Looks like you took 40 years off her! A little too much like a drawing and too little like retouching to me sorry. The skin is too smooth and the lack of sharpness makes it look like a very nice pencil drawing. The face though is quite good and I really like where you were going with the initial idea.

Just a thought with all the wrinkle ridding and boob raising... her shoulders and general posture are quite hunched. This also adds to the appearance of age.

thanks hehe, many detail is lost when i reduced the quiality to 100kb, so that's why the skin looks so smooth and dont have sharpness
