k so here's the photo i'm working with:

what i really want to do is somehow add a small hint of a teardrop in the corner of the eye
not like an actual tear, but just water welling up
and i've been studying pictures of eyes and tears and stuff and i can't create anything that looks quite right
anyone have any suggestions?

edit: back to the original tearless picture

i'd like to see what it looks like when its done... u gonna update the thread?

sorry, i got no advice on photoshop


>JM<

yeah i'll post it if it ever works
not to optimistic though as of now
coloring and enhancing stuff i'm dope at, but i've always been fuckin terrible about anything with water
it just never looks right

the trick is to get a good shape of the tear, and then creating a realistic reflection. In this case you have to blur the teardrop a little bit because the focus is set to the eyebrow in this photo.

I'll try to do it, but I can't guarantee anything

aarrrrr after many many hours, i think i got it
how's this look?

whats the difference?

heh whoops
i just uploaded the new one w/ the same filename so its showing up as the new one in the first post
the old one didn't have the teardrop
so basically how's the tear look?

How does this look?
I don't think the shape is quite right.. but oh well.

Thats better than what i could do, but i would still blur up the line between the light and dark half of the tear a bit, too much contrast. Also, maybe if you pushed the drop in a bit away from the eye. Seems to cover too much. Or just leave it alone, cause like i said, its better than what i could do.

Mezzir, now I see the difference.... Yea, the one you did looks great!!!

Looks like a pimple to me.
