Mocha Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I would consider working on the nose some. It's looks flat compared to the rest of the face as there's no real contrast on it. You mean on the sides of her nose? Her sculpt has a fairly wide bridge and I'm afraid if I put too much contrast on the sides, it'll stick out too much and she'll go from Madonna to Barbra Streisand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 As long as you keep the layers thin, you can play around with different ideas. Just be doubly certain you let them dry between brush strokes or you'll tear the layer and it will start getting chunky. But yeah, MS is spot-on, bit of contrast on the face would bring it to the level of painting elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be a lot but I'd add some red, as most Caucasians have a bit there, that you can use to define some things. The main problem is your nose has no additional color--just the base, while the rest of the skin has color and contrast so it makes it look like a fake plastic nose.

Last Knight Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I hadn't really noticed, but MS is spot on. Her cheeks are faintly flushed, her nose should be too. Ha, hadn't even noticed i mimicked your phrasing there, Cash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Phenomenal job! Those blends are just awesome, and I love her pants! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocha Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Alright, after doing some more work on her staff and painting some rosier skin tones on her nose, Maralise's (aka Madonna's) paint job is complete! Now, what's next..? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Fantastic! Make sure to put her into a show-off thread with a few different angles of pics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator OneBoot Posted June 18, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've found another favorite painter!! I agree with the others that have said your style is quite similar to Kuro's; such lovely rich, deep colors and seamlessly smooth blends! I very much look forward to seeing what your next project will be! Huzzah! --OneBoot :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Madonalise is lovely! I loved the bodice the first time you posted it, and it's still a striking example of blending, as is the ribbon on her staff. Really lovely work. But I take issue with your supposition that she's done. It appears in your last picture that she's standing on a chunk of bare metal...basing has to happen sometime! Dooo eeeet....doooo eeeet... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Melons Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I was gonna say you still need to base her but Sanael beat me to it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say you still need to base her but Sanael beat me to it I will also pipe up about the basing, but be warned...once you go basing, you never go back... it's almost as addicting as painting itself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
