I think pretty much all of them need to be even more zoomed in.

Just threw a few lines, I guess this is the size they pretty much meant, or even closer.

Well it's not bad at all. Although you could smooth this out with some more AA and some saturation, it doesn't seem like you need too many tips. Still I advise you to check out some pieces for colors, e.g. this.

Thanks very much, I will try to do what you suggested - The colours on the piece you linked are great - Actually, colours are my weakness, i have no idea about pallettes or anything. Also, I just looked at your gallery - you are seriously talented, thankyou for taking the time to help me. |

Colors seem to be everyone's weakness when they're new to pixelling. ^_^ They're certainly one of mine.

Here's my progress. I don't like the hair, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
I also decided to use my palette for the other contest to test it out. I may change it if it doesn't work. ![]() |

Hey, another challenge! Well, here's what I've got so far:
![]() The rules didn't say it had to be realistic, so of course I have to do something crazy with it. ![]() Not sure whether it looks better with the makeup or without it, though. |

make the features before the makeup, so you know where the makeup goes. (i.e. draw the eyelids)

WIP
![]() I know there's been a few eye pic's already. But I just love drawing eyes ![]() I have an idea for a "twist", which is, letting the eye reflect another face. But I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to draw that with the limited palette :/ Edit: ![]() Looks less stiff this way maybe? Edited by offwhite - 29 November 2011 at 11:12pm |

I'm disappointed by the ideas suggested still being quite far from the face... this challenge is quite tempting to go towards abstraction, rather than central compositions on specific features of the face, which is the most obvious thing to do.
I am impressed by the technical quality of the entries though! |

Idea: you can try and draw the eye from the side, suggesting the inner structure of the iris and glassy transparence of the cornea.
(that's what I'd do if I had the time) :D In the meantime, here's a face, made from tiles and kinda-sorta refined. a bit. ![]() It has no contrast. And the light source seems a bit ambiguous. But whatever :D |

I am impressed by the technical quality of the entries though! I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say the ideas so far isn't "face" enough. Could you elaborate on that? I mean isn't f.ex. ingl0rius' or Jeremys pics focusing on "central compositions on specific features of the face"? Originally posted by Chibiwing
I don't like this; any ideas? ![]() I have a technical suggestion. The pupil is always at the center of the iris. Right now the shape of the iris is suggesting something else. The top looks like it's extending further behind the eyelid than the bottom. Maybe you could try to make the top and bottom more symmetrical? I'd really like to show you what I mean with an edit. But last time I edited someones entry it started a discussion on whether that was allowed or not in a challenge entry. ![]() Originally posted by Graindolium I agree with AirStyle. This one is looks good, and still has a lot of potiential ![]() Originally posted by Graindolium offwhite ![]() Haha, I didn't see the comment before now. I'm very honored by receiving this portrait. But I must say that my nose is much more dominant in real life ![]() |

Originally posted by cure make the features before the makeup, so you know where the makeup goes. (i.e. draw the eyelids) Hmm... good point! ![]() ![]() I think I somehow made it worse... I should probably change the angle of the nose a little so it's a bit more of a side view, to accommodate the shape of the eye. Edited by PureAwesomeness - 02 December 2011 at 10:17pm |

![]() I am so bad at this. tried to do something creepy with the eyes and it just looks... well BAD! I'm going to erase them and try something else. Anyway the origional intention was it to be Glokta from Joe Abercrombie's The First Law book series. I attempted to use the 20 colour pallet I've made for the pallet challenge. Turns out really hard for me to use on a bigger piece than the isology collab size. |
