Amelia- let me begin with I am jealous- love your realism, very clean and well done. Now for my "feedback" not so much criticism but I wish I could do. 1. The skin- color tones spot on but how to achieve texture, the bumps and splotches, Langiere"s lines etc. Instead of the plasticized skin of an Android. When you figure it out let me know. 2. Every picture needs a subject and should make a statement. I assume yours is her beautiful face. I would change the composition. The tilt of her body and arms takes the viewers eyes off canvas to the viewers right. I find her left shoulder too prominent and distracting. 3. Lastly, to the second point there is too much realism. Perhaps, more blur or vignetting will help the viewer land on the face and stay there. Here is a quick PS edit I did trying to illustrate my points.

Hi Mr. Hampton, In the critique videos, would it be possible to have a bit more explanation of how to visualize the top of the eye like a ribbon? Please? I'm just having a bit of difficulty making that connection when studying the models. Thank you!
