Artist's Comments
The girl in the picture is a deviant who goes by PseudoNerd. The original stock photo can be found at: [link] -- I chose this picture because she has a great look on her face, and these fantastic, really expressive eyes.
Well, that and because she said she said she "didn't know what could be done with this one" and I saw it instantly. Finally found a tutorial to explain how to do hair [link] so that was a blast, as were those luxurious eyelashes. Think I nailed the rest of the face pretty well, too, especially the eyes. The eyebrows and the cloth on the other hand took forever and crashed on me more than once--- which set me back many, many hours. Vectoring fuzzy irregular shapes is irritating, I don't wish to try it again soon. I did do a more literal interpretation of her hat and scarf (which I can upload if there's interest), but I wasn't quite as happy with the results. This one is 100% vector. Might have gotten better results on the yarn material if I'd delved into photoshop... On the whole I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. I may be emboldened enough to attempt a self-portrait, next.... |

 reports, 22h 4m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Tal vez los hombres inventaran el fuego, pero las mujeres inventaron como jugar con él
great attention to detail
it looks more like an airbrush to me though.
Airbrush, actually, gets you results that are just as smooth but usually fuzzier-- at least, in my admittedly inept hands.
Actually, what this one *really* looks like-- as a friend of mine has pointed out-- is the Adobe PS "Smart Blur" filter. It's not that either, though. I used a series of gradient meshes almost exclusively-- some with a grain or blur applied.

Carpe Diem
It is, indeed, pure vector art. Gradient meshes are goooood, and, I find, astonishingly under-used. But I'm still far too much of a beginner to really teach anyone anything. I'll defer, then, to the tutorial I learned from: [link]
