I'm new here.. and I don't usually post artwork before I stick around and give lots of comments and help to others.. but I thought that this would break the ice, and be a way to introduce myself into the community.
I've posted this at Eatpoo, but I don't really get any comments from there.. just a few.. so I'm hoping that in this community I can get more suggestions and opinions :)
This is pretty imcomplete, but its developing. I'm a bit afraid this is a complete disaster.. I started off with a ref for the overall structure of the portrait, I then put in the lips and they turned out completely different from the ref - but I loved them.. so I kind of went on my own way with everything else. I don't think that was such a good idea afterall. I've only really worked on the lips, a bit of the nose, and one eye a bit.
Here's the most recent version:

I know its a bit freaky with only one eye, but I was having a helluva hard time making the other look good.
This is what I've put this portrait through during my progress:

The most recent of course isnt in that.
I'm just hoping for some tips that might help me before I go further and have no escape because theres too much detail. As I said before, mainly worked on the lips, then did a bit of the nose.. and now I'm working on that eye and hopefully the other eye. Oh, and I also tried to make a good neck but for some reason it looks so wierd no matter what I try. And around the eye - (since I know most people hate it) thats not black shadowing, its black eyeshadow that was smeared around the refs eye. :wink:
Well, give me what you've got. I dont have the ref scanned, never did.. but if its really wanted I will scan it (even though I haven't really used it much.
Thanks!
Oh, and bam close up (mostly what size i work at):

I've kindve realized that I need to fatten up the chin, and make it longer.. and hopefully I can update with that soon :D
