Shim Min Ah by lammas
i really really liked the photo i found of her.. i wanted to draw a really huge painting of her for my room but unfortunately the photo had a small resolution. so this is the outcome...
I know the colours of the skin are a little off. i have always had problems with choosing the right skin colour...but other than that im really pleased with it :)

@lammas: this is a great painting of beautiful woman. as far as the skin tone is concerned it looks great to me. maybe if you could post a link to the original photo or post the photo itself in the forum then we could see for ourselves what you mean by "I know the colours of the skin are a little off." keep up the great work. :)

Yeah, you should always give prop's to reference, but I do love the lost and found touches regarding blending with the background. It's a nice image.

well this is the reference photo. For the skin i tried to take the eyedropper tool in paint and photoshop and use the color that looked pretty much like that but still it isnt quite the same. Would anyone have any tips on getting the right skintone? help would be much appreciated :)

@lammas: I'll get back with you on some skin tone tutorials as I have to do some research on that myself. Don't beat yourself up over this. You painted this and all you may be lacking is a little polish. That will come in time. I have the same issues with my paintings. Notice the skin tones in the painting associated with the following link. http://colors.collectingsmiles.com/details/21942-While_I_Was_At_the_Coffee_Shop..._by_Inque.php Although, the skin tone is only hinted at it is still too high key to really be effective. Don't worry, we're all still learning. :)

I look up to your pairings and you because you have such a talent everyone wishes they had it. This picture is perfect, don't let yourself down about a tiny mistake on a picture filled with big I guess, non-mistakes.
