Description

This was the very first project I did entirely in Illustrator...I left it half finished because the idea of doing the head dress overwhelmed me...but after about 6 months of getting better acquainted with Illustrator, I went back & finished it.

My aim was to combine rich detail with minimal detail & realistic & stylised treatments, & to use negative space & a limited colour palette. It's a portrait of silent film star Louise Brooks.

Very, very good. You spotted exactly the right balance, and your technique, as allways, is very accurate. Great job.
One crit: I'd give it some extra space below, like you did at the top.

Very well done, to my mind though the head thing, near the back of the head, looks a bit flat overall. But it is a very clean, nice and impressive job Beautlfully done.

Good

Very nice, I like especially hair and the feathers. Maybe the face line seems a bit strange, maybe in the lower part it needs to be more straight...I hope I have express myself clearly ^^''

I'm very happy to see Lulu here. The line work is squeaky clean, the understated facial shading is spot-on and the 3D pearls make the whole thing pop.
