Blue satin sashes

Thank you for the closeups. Two thing that stick and both in the older girls facial features. I am sure that the outline below the nose her lips and chin need some adjusting. Second the neck of the older girl has to many value changes or should I say detail. I would suggest you just have a light and shadow are no detail of tendons and such things, only a indication of cylindrical form.

As the saying gos it is finished when you say it is finished.

Thanks Mischa, I'm bothered by the older girl's neck too (among other things). I say it's not finished!

Here's a link to see the image better. You can click on the larger size icon over the image.

Please let me know if this link is unacceptable; I'll remove it.

I'll have another session with this and hopefully just one more update.

If you simplify the neck as I suggested and make the other adjustments I think it will be a good thing. If you have more time with this, then I would think on other things like the walkway. I think that there is to much detail sharpness and light on the walkway which takes away from the illusion of depth.

Thanks Mischa. I'll do as you say and submit another photo.

OK Mischa, I've worked on her and am now wondering what you'll think ...

I have made some touches on the forehead, cheek, around the lips and the lips, chin, chin to the neck and the neck and shoulder, around the clavicle dip. Put the two photos side by side in photo shop and see if you can notice the difference and if the difference appeals to your concept.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me Mischa! I think the biggest difference for me is that the collarbone seems more prominent in yours, whereas in mine it's practically nonexistent. Your neck area definitely looks more graceful. I'll work on it and update this again later.
