one brush, one layer..wow. this is amazing. the detail is spot on. i like the in-your-face perspective too and the way you did the DOF with the hair. i would love to be able to paint like this. top marks, no nits. claudia gotta love that nose and the eyes are so realistic!!

IraMelanox  05/15/07 @696

It looks great. The only problem I see is with the DOF: the blur starts too abruptly at the roots of his hair, but I think it should be more gradual than that. The skin looks amazingly realistic +10

Very Good

luminoire  05/23/07 @975

his expression seems very real and the skin is quite amazing!

alsnyder  05/23/07 @038

Inspiring, intriguing and individualistic. The extreme close up makes it a very personal painting to view... almost like we know this man. I haven't been here too long, but I don't think that I've seen a more "beautifuly" painted face. Beauty in the way each facial component is so lush in it's painterly execution. This is a painting with "meat" on it's bones - a "take no prisoners", uncompromising portrait taken to its exact creative limit. Not overdone, not underdone... just right! Excellent, Yulia!

NunoDias  05/23/07 @108

Awesome texture...the expression is fabulous too

Saimain  05/23/07 @311

Gorgeous work on his skin and especially his eyes! His facial hair seems a bit odd, though, somehow not as realistic as the rest of the painting. Still great work, though. ^__^

Hi, the reference is located here: http://www.3d.sk/img/free_samples/Street_reference.jpg Are you sure you didn't use grids as help or traced a little? This looks like an exact reproduction. By the way his eyes SO kick ass!

yulia  05/23/07 @724

*this crit is edited, but it caused some confusion earlier, please ignore it, and please decide if you believe this is a trace for yourself, or if it isnt*

alsnyder  05/24/07 @533

Hi there. Please read my first post.

nightbird  05/24/07 @638

Hello, it was not my intention to offend anyone. And also I don't think tracing is evil, I just was curious and was looking for a honest answer.

stymied  05/24/07 @678

the individual strokes of color are fantastic. rendering is quite nice. i like how it blurs in the back, making the facial features pop. that is a spectacular nose. i could learn a lot of things from that nose. my only question is about the chin- it looks slightly less rendered compared to the nose/eyes/etc. i think it's really because the eyes are so well-done and realistic (even more so than the photographic source). excellent stuff. quite fun to look at. makes me want to go dig up my wacom.

yulia  05/25/07 @961

haha! awesome.

acida  05/25/07 @027

Very well done on all the textures... the eyes are great!

Xenorify  05/27/07 @973

wow this is superb, the detail in his skin. I agree the hair looks a little rushed, and the DOF is too abrupdt. Still great painting, Im jealous of your talent. How must you paint traditionally? beautifuly?

lindella1  05/27/07 @914

damn, you are good with details very nice.
