Kate in Sunshine

Suprise Suprise!
I wasn't satisfied with my old Kate Beckingsale Portrait for =JurgenDoe's contest anymore, so I decided to make a new one and yeah, this is the result!
If you want so see my other entry, look here: [link]

I think I have quite a lot improved if you compare it with the "old" one


i am quite satisfied with the skin and the eyes and so, butI had my problems with the hair, really annoying, but I tried my best
Don't tell me the skin looks dirty, it was trying to make it not too smooth because I really don't like this >.<
Critics are always appreciated, especially because this is only my second digital Portrait I have done in my live, but don't be too harsh, really put a lot of effort in this painting^.^
