Description

more practice at drawing faces from reference
:iconikoisforstock: this beautiful lady is Iko
I have drawn her for *Le-Visage's opening contest [link] :iconle-visage:

I really wanted to have a go at using clipping masks to give fabric texture and pattern after reading =budgie's tutorial, tho i think i still need more practice at that...:nod:
Im delighted how well the skin texturing worked out, i had been wanting to have a go since reading *Dianae's tutorial, tho i opted for using a scatter brush fading in opacity and size which made that bit quick and effective work, yays :) so for once i actually did the bulk of this work in photoshop, despite its inability to pick up the pen pressure, i did have to resort to alias sketchbook again to do her hair, even her eyelashes i struggled with in photoshop, its very frustrating the more i learn in photoshop the more i want to use its useful tools, but all the time i save goes into over-compensating for the unnatural way my drawing comes out in the 1st place....oh well at least its only the layers i lose in switching the files from one to the other program....:shrug:

the skin texturing is really great, the choice of color was great!
