Honestly Subtle Retouch

Just Practicing some new techniques.

Subtle Retouch

The key to a good retouch is keeping things subtle:

Let's pretend it's still wednesday. . .

I've been pretty sick this past week, but yesterday morning things became a lot worse as it felt like death had crawled into my throat and made it his home. I got tested for strep throat and should have the results in a day or two. Today, incidentally, the pain in my throat has increased about tenfold.

So here's a photo to make up for my lack of photo yesterday:

Little blurry, little grainy, but I like it.

2 legs? 2 mainstream. . .

Yeah the middle legs are weird but I only got 2 1/2 hours of sleep so. . . okay, I don't have any real excuse but at least I'm trying.





















Toned in photoshop.

Also I got bored and did another quick sketch and coloured it in photoshop:

I do like the lichen texture I got on the body.

Posting hiccup

Woke up sick at 1:30am and realized I hadn't posted today (yesterday?)  Tuesday anyways.
So here's a little project I did for my old blog, cute little social media icons called "hiccup." Fitting, don't you think?

Anyways here they are on deviantart free for you to use in any way. If you do end up using them I'd love to see, but that's not required!

Also I just realized that there's a function on here for making hyperlinks, apparently I've been doing the whole "<a href="http://nelsopotato.deviantart.com/art/Hiccup-Social-Media-Icons-185762459>hiccup-social-media-icons</a>" thing for nothing.

I shouldn't let myself post when I'm this tired.

Edit:
Monday, I didn't post Monday.






(also you can just click on the image, enlarge it and copy it to your computer instead of downloading it. Don't you love PNGs?)

Pose exercises

I'm getting back into that "post everyday" thing.

I've just started a portrait class so hopefully I'll improve over the next few weeks.
