Real as Plastic.

Digital-painting practice.

As you can tell by my gallery,
I'm absolutely new to anything CLOSE to realism.
At first, I was very pleased with myself because,
even though the lineart was very anime-ish,
I thought the colouring was DAMN well done
considering this is my first attempt...
...but once I added hair
and got frustrated/lazy with it...

..now I'm dissapointed. And I kind of
think it really sucks. But, oh well.
Without the hair:

EDIT: I shouldn't have added
any contrast or saturation DDx
that's what killed it.
