How I Edit - Video Tutorials

Oh wow looking great guys!

@simsgal, My suggestion for the eyes would be to add a lil more of the black around them. With soo much white, it makes them appear flat. eye itself (Colored part) a lil larger.

@Darla, same for the size of your eyes too, but make sure they line up with each other in terms of the right eye looks like it is kinda going off in another direction and not lining up with the right eye.

Everything else looks fabulous!

Woot, thanks for the suggestions, Bliss! I can't wait to add part 2 to my pic later .

@Darla: for the eyeshadow, I know mine wasn't perfectly symmetrical when I drew it. I found erasing was easier than drawing if I made a mistake .

I love it! I finally finished with step two! I had the wrong hair brush before, but I found some amazing ones! I didn't change the overall hair much, but I like the effect it gave!

After Part 2: (I decided to copy paste some other eyes because I think they look more realistic)

Okay, so this is a completely different type of headshot and I only used bits and pieces of the tutorial

The one on the right is the before.....

Looks amazzing! I can't wait to try out the pearl thing and skin texture!

Thanks guys!

I wanted to share my next WIP. I didn't get to ll the face editing yet since I wanted to do some hair drawing.

I took this pic like a week ago when I wanted to hair draw and it wasn't working out.

After doing the one above, I now know how to do it. So, I tackled this pic.

The sunset I also thought was boring, so utilizing gaussian blur and many layers, I made the sunset (the sun is copied from somewhere else and modified).

I'm two or three hours into the hair, and I still have more hair to go! Then I have other editing to do... I can't see wanting to draw hair that often, it takes so long!

I plan on adding some sort of side bangs, probably, but once the rest of the hair is pretty much done.

That looks really good, I only suggest darkening the roots some and maybe some highlights in the hair to give it more volume

Thanks, it's just not done yet .

I still have to edit a few things, but I finished the hair! What do you think?

I had a few hours of free time over the past few days so I tried what I could...
I didn't draw hair or pearls, so for now this is as good as it's going to get.

Oh you guys are doing soo fabulous!

@scruffy, your eyes look great!

@bubbles, love it. My only suggestion would be to give the hair a lil more volume. It seems a lil flat in terms of (not coming off the head) enough.

Still awesome!

Those are amazing, Scruffy (good to see you!) and Bubbles

Oh my goodness bubbles, that is amazing!

So I finished the edit of my pic. I went crazy dl'ing gimp brushes! I fixed the skin a little, put in some clouds, the grass and foliage, and the birds. I also added a few filters that I think brought it back to life (I tried red saturation for one of them, and it really livened things up! I just deleted it on my sim, it made her look pinkish). AND I added some shadows.

I think my photo looks much more interesting now .

Do you have any hair suggestions, Bliss? Obviously I'm a beginner at it. How can I give it more depth? Are my hair strands too big?

Thanks so much!

And I think it looks great! The highlights just look a little blocky maybe gausion blur more next time?

wow. everyone's picture are so great i'm almost embarrassed to post this here. but i need the criticism so i can improve. i posted this already in the before and after thread. spent lots of hours on it.....
Okay I used the tutorial that Bliss made and this took forever to do. It's not perfect by any means but I'm pretty proud of what I did.

I decided not to do the pearls........

I can't find the pearl tut...

I don't mean to bother you but maybe it's just my computer but for whatever reason ican't find it.

That looks great Darla!

Looks great ladies!

@bubbles, I have to re do the pearl tut. You can find it in issue 7 of Sensation if you need too tho

Think it is issue 7? It is the issue with the theme "Couples"

Thanks for the suggestion, bubbles!

Alright... I was overloaded with freetime last night so I made another one.
I feel like I could have done so much better on it, but I started it at about 11 O'Clock and I was beyond tired. I'm still proud of it none the less.
Also, this is a Halloween or, 'haunted' image, so... be prepared for a touch of scare and a touch of edge as well.

I've decided I like that ugly EA hair as a starter since it's so flat.
