Critiques


:icontimmydoomsqueaks:
The shading on the wings is very clean and crisp, as is the hair, which is really quite difficult to do with remappable portraits. I'm also a fan of the overall structure of the face. The shape of the eyes is quite good, but I feel like some of the perspective is lost on the glasses. The glasses look slightly "bent," if you know what I mean.

The freckles are great, and the nonremappable shirt design is a very unique touch. However, I feel like this is lost on the shading of jacket/overshirt. While the hair and wings display precision and good form, the shirt looks a bit rushed and sloppy. The neck is also a bit flat in shading, which looks odd in contrast to the soft shading of the wings and shirt, where you used more gradients.

Clothing folds are very difficult to master. I recommend having someone modeling for you so that you can have a reference to work from. When I work, I surround myself with my references so that I'm working from observation. Drawing from observation rather than imagination is one of the best ways to obtain a sense of realism in your work. Keep at it! :)

PFT. my hair shading style is actually pretty simple to learn. maybe i should make a tutorial? o:
