    Havent really used photoshop in a long time.
    Just thought id practice airbrushing :)
    What do you think?
    Some things I did:
    Re-positioned eyes, nose, teeth, lips.
    Changed the shape of most things from the head to the teeth.
    Skin work.
    Colouring.
    Toning.
    Hair highlights/tints.
    etc.

    Looks good in generela, except for the tip of the noise. To thin and pointy, kinda made me think of Michael Jackson there, which is hardly a compliment :P

    Thankyou :)
    Hmm yeah looking at it I think it does look a bit pointy but I don't think I'd go to the extent of saying it's like Michael Jackson :P

    Lol yeah, Michael Jackson is a bit over-the-top of course ^^
    But she does look "better" than before. Love how her eyes look and you've done a really good job in fixing that upwards lip to the left.

    Looks really believable i probably wouldn't pick it out as photoshopped. I've seen people do really horrible jobs that either over do it or just do a half assed job leaving parts that look odd and giving it away. It looks a bit weird, i would have to stare at it for awhile for me to figure that something is off and there is a little tell that gives it away, it looks like kind've like a painting but most often then not i probably wouldn't have picked it as being photshopped.

    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :)
    This was the first time I tried to airbrush properly to be honest, I've done quite a few lighting adjustments and things and maybe a few times I've used the spot healing tool etc. but never actually modified the actual shape of the images and moved things like here.

    No I've only made two tutorials before but that was about two years ago and that was just for tags.

    Great editing, though as mentioned, the nose is a bit over-the-top. In my opinion the picture would benefit from some quality post-production light work.

    Thanks, when I was editing this the nose actually seemed much better than now looking back.
    There's nothing I could really have done about the lighting or the quality for that matter because it was just a picture I pulled from her myspace.

    "You looked better on myspace",

    "that's because I airbrushed."

    That's because it is.
    I manipulated the original photograph.
