I've been trying to make this brush for the past week from your tutorial. @__@ #15 is where I keep getting messed up on. :T

If you have time/are still about to answer this, could you elaborate a little more in that step?

I've seen some people having troubles with this step as well. I grouped everything like you instructed, but I am still not getting the same result. Are the boxes assigned to each group, or each section in the assigned group? (does that even make any sense?)

When I crop, I loose some of my objects. (Like the highlights)

I'll keep trying of course, but...I'm going to buy your brush. lol <3 Thank you!

Doesn't look like a vector at all...rather like painted.
That's stunning!

Excellent work, the fine hair highlights ties the foreground and background together seamlessly and the facial expression is hypnotizing.
