SUNSHINE - Peeta realism

Peeta is a painter, an artist. I love it, I just love it.
I'd put a little quote right here, but my teacher borrowed Catching Fire from me, so I'll just have to wait till then.

So here's my story:
Lately, I've realized that I suck at realism unless I do it on real paper. Have you not seen my Captain Jack Sparrow? [link] I was so proud when I finished that because it was the most realistic thing I've ever gotten done! *_* Now I tried digital art to see if I could get the same results and...

NO.

Just no.

So then I tried Peeta. I messed up my traditional painting, so I used my lineart/sketch and opened it up on photoshop..
It's beautiful isn't it? The hair took forever, okay? As for the face, I had to redo it at least 10 times. This is why "Median" is what I use the most on photoshop, it helps SO MUCH.

This helped me with hair, try it.
