Like last time, constructive criticism is welcome!
Really like the look, I feel like the picture was taken from an angle and that's throwing off the perspective to me.
There's something about it that makes it look flat and I can't quite figure out what, It's not the hair because that definitely pops. I think it's maybe the need for some sort of cheekbone or something?
Hmmm...
I was thinking the same thing. I had the paper angled all weird when drawing, so that definitely contributed. I was trying to figure out shading in the face that would help, but I didn't want it to just look like the girl is just dirty lol
Ugh i know that feeling. Maybe extending the under eyes just slightly?
Like add more shading directly under the eyes, or a little lower?
I read that as Euthanised, i hope you get better :D
I know it's just a sketch, but I always found that holding my pieces up to a mirror helps out a ton when I've been staring at a picture for a while. You can see mistakes and such much easier. Keep up the good work friend!
The face is lopsided. You can see this thanks to the double red line. It goes through the chin but not the middle of the forehead. The entire right side (our perspective) is higher. Especially the eye will trigger the "something is off" response. The shadow to both sides of the neck suggest light from the top/front, but then the nose would need appropriate shadow as well. The mouth sits too low on the face.
I recommend using the Loomis method to learn how to draw the shape of heads. You need to understand the mass you are drawing, not just single parts of the face. Right now, you are guessing shadows and placements based. Google Loomis, it's a very popular resource for learning to draw faces and heads. Loomis also shows very cartoonish variants, which is more in line with what you are going for (rather than realism), which I think could help.
Thank you for the advice!
You’re sweet, I would have said. “Yeah, this is artshare, not critiquemyart, but thaaaasanks. Haha
I’m not an artist myself, and I’m crosseyed, so perspective is lost on me. I just like it.
I want to improve my art, so advice is welcome lol. Thank you for the compliment :)
Mouth is a little too low, that's what creates the flat look + makes it look like there's no chin.
If the mouth stays the same size, the outer chin outline stays in the same place, + the mouth is moved up? So the distance between mouth and nose is reduced by around 1/3 to 1/2? That would make it feel more natural.
