Faceface1991's Sketchbook - (25/11/2009) - (Mild Nudity)

Right, I thought I'd set up a sketchbook thread.

At the moment it'll be just digital sketchs, till I can scan in my actual sketchbook.

I've been told I need to look more at my base drawing skills, figure drawing and composition, so comments and crit on that would be awsome :)

Here we go...

Use a photo reference when you draw. The eyes don't look that good. First image, her right side of the chin suddenly is shortens and is not as round/wide as her left side. Ok, the one with 3 figures and a face of a girl in the middle, eyes are a little too high up and they are positioned on a diagonal line instead of horizontal. Also, you need to fix that right eye (her right). Her nose is slightly larger, it shouldn't go lower then the lower part of her ears. It's more appealing. Add more hair, she looks half way bald this way. Pic on right, her foot needs a little bit of work. Girl with red cheeks, work on her eyes, check a photo for reference. Girl with a pink/red background is the same problem as your previous pic. Eyes are not on the same level and one is larger then other. I also think that her ear is a little too far to the left and it's way high. Ear fits in between eyebrows and bottom of the nose bridge. The portrait of a guy is probably the most accurate. Fix his jaw a little, nose-seems to be at a slight different angle from lips. Either fix the nose's angle at which you view it or lips. The reason for that is, lips are positioned as if you are looking straight forward while the nose is slightly from the left angle. Last one, add more highlights.

Thanks for the advice DAMJAN ^_^

Photo reference was used for all but the 4th and 5th one's,
Guess I just need to get better at getting it right in general :(
Been going to a coupl'a life drawing classes recently, I'll chuck them up at some point.
