heh heh heh paramore soooo trendy wooo! love hayley of course :D, and this! pretty smexy sir.  looks good, i'd darken/add more shading to the right arm though to give it a bit more depth so it looks like it's behind her more.  hair looks great; and yes her hair does have a lot of random colors so try to include as many as you can (coincidentally, i'm currently vexelling a scene from 'misery business' and not only does her hair have like 10,000 colors but so does her makeup -.- /end random shinfo).  also add some eyebrows, its tripping me out!

so i kinda redid the hair agian. what i felt was lacking last time was space. when i stranded there was a lot of space to fill still. looked ackward.\

so to help stop that problem, ive added some understones. that will be placed under my strands on a low opacity.

just getting some feedback to see if im still headed in the right direction.

People are really hard to do in Illy at least hair and stuff, another reason I do vexels vs. vectors. Lookin good tho.

Yeah, the hair looks great with many colors as you can see here:

if anything i'd leave the undertones at full opacity and play around with opacity with the strands themselves.  if you have enough strands then you won't be able to see the undertones, and they will just fill in the blank spaces of the strands.  i prefer 1-2px width strands though cuz i'm a freak obviously :D.




when illustrator wasn't exploding my computer, i found that vexeling/shading skin was slightly easier in illustrator, but doing the hair was insanely easier/more efficient in photoshop, but to each his own.  and oh lordy, why'd we have to bring that vexel out! it's anything but perfect. i can pick out like 10 things right now that make me cringe when i look at it.

Hi M8, Just a few suggestions this being your first vexel or vector I think you are doing very well, I have been doing everything the hard and ugly way for 2 years so I dont want you to make my mistakes. The first mistake I make usually is using exact colors (When you color pick change the color to something brighter or just better imo), do a lot via freehand, once you see the flow of the hair for example, dont stress over every strand just be cool like you are and go with the flo! I know that you probably dont use PS for this but I know how hard hair is so I took your stock and cut her head off and did a few lines just to show you how I roll. All lines were just Point to point with a bend in the middle. As Duck taught me, Hot key your pentool commands so you can be more efficient anyhow dont be offended bro, just tryin to help. Oh and also I zoom in 800 x when I can I try to use a high quality stock. EDIT - I usually lower opacity on some things but i didnt screw with it.

or
