great job thinning her torso, You may want to duplicate the edge of where her hair meets the edge of her skin from the orignal picture to reduce the sharp contrast, (you and always blur the tight spaces with a super tiny brush...(but these type of manipulations are always very difficult when you get to the edges..(Sometimes drawing your own hair on a separate palate with the smudge tool (Much easier to work with in a separate area as not to fight with the size of the original picture) and lay over into the work you have already done can help

(Hi res always shows the nit pics) but I can tell the print version would be excellent.. GOOD LUCK!!!! (and as always IMHO)

Thanks, I totally agree about the hair, will see if I can find time to work on it.

I have done some more work on the hair, still not totally happy, but I think it's better.

Smudge is a tricky little monster... much improved.. it does take practice.. good LUCK!!!

She looks a bit to much plastic as younger...hair don't look very realistic...try to work a bit more on this entry author because model image have a lot of potential...best of luck

nice work....I did the same thing .. this is harder than you think to get those skin tones right.. good luck
