| | Re: Help with Female Face I made some adjustments with the help of your feedback. My son tells me she's a little more attractive - my best critic.
Ash - Your photo is a very good reference photo. I do notice that her chin and jaw are more triangular than mine.
Hi Ho - I shaved a little more from the chin and cheek...hope you can tell.
Irish - What a great teaching tool using the computer. I can definitely tell the difference when you made the modifications. I think I may have captured some of your recommendations.
Here is what I have done: I lifted the chin, decreased the space b/w the nose and the upper lip, undercut the hair and the face somewhat...the hair is something I need to learn...and, pulled the bottom lip in a bit yet I could go in some more.
Is she ready or what do you think? Your help has been tremendous everyone.
Patrick

| | Re: Help with Female Face Patrick!!!! Beautiful. The jaw line really makes a dramatic difference in softening her features. I would tuck that lower lip just a bit more and then I think you have a real keeper there.

| | Re: Help with Female Face I agree, Susan nailed it....I would also thin the lips slightly and the nose appears in the picture to make a complete arc, like a rainbow and the bottom left and right corners are pointed, maybe rounding those a little would help soften too.......looking good!  |

| | Re: Help with Female Face Narrow those nostrils a wee bit, I think.
This is obviously no teen-queen, but a mature woman in her mid-to-late 30s, possibly early 40s. Not a 'beauty', just good looking.
I don't dare go on too much in this vein as my wife is standing at my shoulder right now.... |

| | Re: Help with Female Face Now that you point out the nostrils and the lip fullness, I can see where I can do some more trimming. I'll be pulling in the chin more as well. Great feedback. Thanks for helping me out everyone.
