Kelly Clarkson.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CC please.

Nice signature, but I have some CC if you dont mind :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You could try to soften the render a bit, for blending (smudge tool or something, one of those 3)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dark shadows on her head are too sharp, could use the smudge tool also (dont know which one, just try some)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep it up, you should make more sigs :wink:

Okey, my C/C:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly should be more blended. Try some effects on the lower body. Like clipping masks, brushings, custom shapes, patterns etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get rid of the effects on Kelly, it makes it look bad IMO. Make her clear as possible in her face area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Background is a bit plain. I recommend you to try clipping masks, brushings, c4d's, filters and other that kind of things. C4D's will give it more depth. It's kind of flat atm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Border is too tiny for me, movie border or rounded edges would be nice imo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text is well blended and good font, but the placement is bad. It should be very close to the Focal point or far away from it. Try to make the focal point in the middle to make the text placement easier. If you use the same placement of her, make the text close to her or to the right corner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lightsource would be good, add it with filter-render-lighting effects or (i recommend) white soft brush somewhere close to her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More effects would be nice. My recommendations: new layer-image-apply image-filter-brush strokes-splatter combination and some splatter brushings with clipping mask. Or then a brushings or pen tool lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are getting progress,
