Before and after....(editing)

First topic message reminder :

I'm kinda fascinated to how your photos start before you edit them, sometimes I don't realise quite how much/little editing makes all your great pics ^_^ So if you want I would love to see some before and afters =)

I'll start :P

Nooooo its pefect! I can picture my dad sending that to my brother xD

Sooo I thought I'd try Harry's hair tut for GIMP... ended up combining it with Bliss' and some of my own methods. But I used his model who is adorable and so fun to edit! I'm really proud of the hair drawing, and I also did some other edits as I don't like my before-after pictures to be just hair drawing, and I think they turned otu pretty good... So yeah, go me!

@Jake - I Know I should prob do other hair colors, But I have black hair and it is my fave color hair <3

Try red! My favorite is red, but I can't have red. Too hard to dye natural black. My mom and hubby both have red hair though, and my mom's is like...gahhhh gorgeous, I wish I'd have inherited that.

I have natural red hair that actually changes shades each season :D

Ooooh gimmee LOL

xDDD Did you know only 2% of people on earth have red hair? O _ O

x.x LOL so I never had a chance. I got my grandfather's black hair, but he has nice hair so... I can be happy. :D

I would love red hair...except for the fact it would look like sheet on my me

My hair is a horrible blondie-brown.... But can I have some critique on my picture please?

I'd say to do less highlights, only in places the light's gonna hit, but make them a bit more dramatic. And work on the shape, like that thing on top, I'm not sure how exactly that's done... like if it's one of those bumps because if it was the hair would be going a different way.

Myan, for me, the biggest things I would change are your shadowing and the shape. You've shadowed the skin around the hair in a kind of blocky way so it makes the hair seem almost flat. Also, there really isn't any definition in the hair (shine-wise) so you could always just take the dodge tool to the hair. The other thing (the shape) is only minor things. I'm not sure what was happening with the bump on top, but I don't think it adds much to the hair. Also, adding a few fly-aways would really improve the hair.

Other than that, I think you're almost there. Lighten the color up a little bit, put in a little more shine, and it'll be awesome ^_^

O.O

Gorgeous! What's it for?
