[Jana Wang]

I know it\'s not competition quality, but I think she came out rather nice and I\'d like to hear some comments or suggestions:

very nice free hand.where did you get this mini from??

 

[chrismisterx]

Very nice indeed, i really like that mini, only one small point, the black hair seems alittle dull, lifeless, is that the photo/lighting by anychance ? or are my eyes given up on me lol.

voted on the mini, great work once again!

Looks very nice Jana. I agree about the hair comment...looks more like a helmet.

You have a very subtle style, but I think you need just a bit more highlighting (like on the skin) to help it along. Also think about black or brown lining...where the different areas meet...for instance, along the neck and sleeve lines...

Lastly...I think this gal needs some eyebrows...

The freehand is great The hair could use somework. I voted a 7.5. Nice work.

Thanks! The mini comes from Hasslefree, \"Hanako\" I believe.


I know what you\'re saying about the hair. It\'s solid. Got no texture to it and I just don\'t know what to do to make it look any better.

Voted & commented.

Very nice.

The only way I can think of to improve the hair would be to do something similar to the painting wood grain on a smooth surface.

Mickc22 did quite a nice article here.

Did the vote thing

Yah, agreed about the hair. It seems to lack texture. I find you can remedy this in the same way that you would paint defined muscles on a figure, the individual \"strands\". It\'s preeeety simple to do and really doesn\'t take long.
Just need to be a bit carefull not to overdo it, \"less is more\" in this situation

same here with the hair, although i understand that the model is very smooth and therefore difficult to texture, very very nice model
