First Try at Skin Smoothing

[mc4fun]

My first "test project" in CS3 to smooth the skin. Feedback, good or bad would be great, please only look at the skin as I am still working on the rest.

Looks just a touch overdone to me. Make sure you watch out for the eyebrows too.

Thanks Gary, I was so involved in getting the rest, I did not even notice the eyebrow. I see it now.....

I agree with Gary, it does look a might overdone. Be careful you don't miss bits here and there, such as on either side of the mouth in this case. Might I recommend toning down the smoothing around the eyes as well, maybe by as much as 1/4? I found it's worked well for me. Here's my attempt:

Thanks for the insight Damatis, I think I understand about the eyes, it leaves more Character in the picture
