Wow , i managed to make one of my first portraits. 3 days ago, i was asked by my boss from a studio to make an autoportrait, and so by only watching my picture as a reference it tuned up quite good, and so i decided to make a portrait of my boyfriend nebezial, and my best friend warpy in order to learn microanatomy of the face, lightning, and finally to develop a bit of my skills towards realism..and plus, its his birthday today so its a gift to him from me YAY!

it quite like how this turned out.. its not perfect as original though, i am aware of my mistakes, like the obvious fact that the face i made looks a bit rotated to the right.. but i was sick of using so much liquify..

ok, i have to say this so that there wont be any misunderstandings.. there is no filter, no tracing, I just used reference which i will post here also.
