Artist's Comments
The one on the left is the original picture of myself, and the one on the right is me after some retouching.
Here are the adjustments I made:
+The skin and eyes were washed-out-looking, so I used the sponge tool to intensify the color
+Burn on shadow mode to get the eyelashes a tiny bit darker.
+Healing brush tool for unhappy places.
+Recolored the shirt so that it matched the more intense eyecolor.
+Added hair shinies.
+Fixed the left eyebrow and adjusted the right one.
+Smoothed skin and evened out the lighting.
+Adjusted the lip color and smoothness; evened the shading below the lower lip.
+made the skin a bit more peachy and healthy-glow-esque.
+got rid of the bit of hair that had snuck along my neck and under my chin.
+Fixed hair strands that were above the left eyebrow.
+Smoothed undereye circles.
Comments and criticism are welcome as always!
