Re: Evalyn demo from CA WIP

Thank you all so very much! I'm glad you like her.

Tools I used: Scalpel, tattoo needle, NBT. I did do some re-inking both with a brush and a very little with the airbrush.

Here are some close-ups.

The hair...I used the NBT tool cut to a point...NBT Nail Buffer Thingy...a techincal term for the tool I invented, for those who don't know. At some of the edges by the face I used a tiny brush (only a couple of hairs left in it.) Used that on the lashes, too.



Eyes and Brows



Lips

I think it is illegal to be so good that even the close-ups look good........

Re: Evalyn demo from CA WIP

The skin texture is fantastic.
I am very interested in the tatoo needles. I read here how some of you are using them, and I tried to import them (to Australia) from Amazon, but not possible. I will have to try and get them here.
I only joined WC recently and have spent most of my time getting hints from your posts.

Re: Evalyn demo from CA - FINISHED

Such an interesting piece! Who would have thought that even flies could look beautiful? And your skin texture always leaves me stunned.

I've not heard of tattoo needles being used. I may have to try some out. Is there a tread that talks about them as a tool, or could you give me a tip on which needle to seek?
