Cool Rider - Before & After

January 02, 2012, 10:28:53 AM

I learned how to "airbrush" last night and this was the first photograph I used following the tutorial. My mother saw it and she pointed out it was probably very white. I think I have to agree with her. Well, here you go.

What were you going for? It looks a little bit too much like a cartoon for my taste.

When I think of airbrushing I don't think it should be all that noticeable. But that depends on the goal of the shot.

I saw a picture on dA and learned the airbrushing technique could be used to clear up skin. It was my first attempt following the tutorial but I kept practicing and I think I'm doing better with each attempt. =)

Pretty cool style. I really like the color you put in his eyes. They seem to make the less realistic style work well.
My eyes keep moving to the grass in the background because its so bright and right up against his dark hair. Maybe try and darken the grass a bit and see if it draws more attention to his face.
I dig it though. Good job.
