Stroker

In the quick paint job that I did, the forehead looks sickly yellow/green to me. However, the hue for that part is around 20 degrees, which is actually orange/red.

Humans perceive things one way, and a computer "sees" the data another way. It can be really frustrating at times.

As far as blending modes go, I've seen some truly weird things when dealing with Luminosity, Hue, Sat, and Colour. Some combinations in various orders work and some don't. I've even seen some 'quantum artifacts' in a few cases. I don't explicitly know or understand the rules, so I avoid the whole thing by always having Lum at the top. If you mess with different blending modes in different orders, it shouldn't take much for you to find your flow.

Back under my rock with me.

Yet another treatment... I wanted more drama and focus on the piercing gaze. This could be some great guru.

Thanx .....feel free to work from it if you want to..



I didnt ty to add to much color because I didnt know the tonal range to work with,and I didnt want to make her look to dark etc.


Maybe if you used a photo of youre mother you could work out the toning more easily.Or if it was acceptable you could also post a pic of youre mom to give us a better idea to work from.



I agree with Joy about youre great grandmother looking beautiful.She has one of those faces which tell a story just by looking at her.My first thought was of an image you might see in an national geographic magazine.
