Well.. if she really want a color photo and that's the only one she has.. then what you did is good.. to me that is. But talking about choices.. i'd say re-shoot.

Yeh.. I dont like the after picture either..
sorry.. but it doesnt actually look like a model..
Its not a real photo anymore.. more like a poster.. something that can actually be made from scratch thru a pencil, graphics etc...
Howdy.I'm a 18 year old half asian from Ireland who really would love to get with an agency who can get her exposure or anything please look at my profile and get back to me :D

Start over again from square one.

No really, I mean this.

...

How can I put this...

What you did, is taking away the natural beauty she has and created an overwhelmingly artificial portrait.
You are working against the photo when you should be working with it.
If your going to soften an image, do the whole thing and gently at that. Then, if there are small parts which absolutely need a touch up, take it from there and make it fit the look of the rest of the image.

Smudging and Blurring is all fine and good, but at least pay attention to the areas that you missed (aka a spot on her shoulder, parts of her hair, etc.)

I really could go on for ever but that is not going to help you.

You need to start small and practice like crazy.

I'm a terrible teacher, but I know what's good and whats not when it comes to graphic art.
You are too far ahead of your current ability. Keep doing what your doing but don't look to sell your work, not yet.

If you use photoshop, play around with good-tutorials.com for a while to help you understand the basics and the beauty of a subtle touch.

You're taking away all the features that make the models interesting, turning them into bland, generic images. This may be a good strategy for some commercial purposes, but I feel it detracts from the photographer's intent.

Opinion.. you do have something to offer. It just that you'r offering it at the wrong place. People wish to show whatever they have here.. good or bad. There's litle point in touching any of their image the way you are doing. I do think that there are other people out there who would want their pictures turned to drawings. You might want to look for them.. unless, you actually is targeting a different segment. People in creative departments..

Retouching, I'm not sure what your aims for 'retouching' this was.

Maybe you're mistaken. Retouching a photo means you 'repair' it, and first off, this picture has nothing broken about it.

At worst, retouching would entail, some smoothing for noise reduction (for grain), and tweaking the levels to keep a nice crisp contrast for the picture.

What you have managed to do is take a lovely life-like picture, and turn it into a mockery of a human-being. I mean, yes the coloring isn't that bad, but why not take existing light levels and just use adjustment layers to add color and change as you see fit.

Just sticking my nose in there :)

Retouching Inc:

model Yana before retouching


for a start a before retouching pic would be the original not something you've already done work on which you quite obviously have to do that considering its condition....and secondly you are NOT retouching that picture...it has been explained on countless occassions by people what retouching is and what you is not retouching....retouching involves removing blemishes and defects and in general making the model look better while still being the same picture...you take a picture and change it completely and make it totally unuseable for a portfolio because agencies won't care what your pictures could be made to look like they care what you look like for real
