Oh Im glad you like this one-I was actually fairly pleased with it given the time! There are definately bits Im not happy with-a big thanks for pointing out the now obvious flaw with the nose,as I knew SOMETHING was wrong,and at the time it was driving me absolutely mad!! Its that sharp defining line down the main part of her nose that makes it look to stark,but I just couldnt figure it out! The chin,ah...not something I had seen,but on examination,now I dont have such a precise pic of her in my head,I can see that the chin DOES look far too strong! (Thanks for the heads up there!) I mainly liked this one simply because I do get a little of the seductiveness from the original picture in this one...maybe its the red,but the original picture is amazingly seductive,without actually being anything more than a woman sat on a chair in an old tee shirt.(quite an achievement considering some of the poses on there that go for seduction and end up a little scary!) She seemed to be naturally that way,not so contrived,thats why Im glad this piece works. Thank you again for the compliments and crits alike!

This is a great piece, Cold243! It really has stood out for me among your most recent submissions.

First the positives. Great shading. Good proportions. The hair looks great, with a nice use of colr. The lips are well done and realistic. The eyes are well drawn and the eyelashes give a nioce feel to them. The whole piece has a feel of sultry seductiveness that is very appealing. The red background also works very well.

The negatives. Not many. Mainly the nose, for some reason, looks a little rigid. This is probably due to your use of sharp lines in defining it. If your lines were a little softer, the nose would probably be a little more realistic. Her chin is also very strong, a bit more than is normal. While she may have a very strong chin, remember most people will not be familiar with your reference photo. All they will know is that when they look at your drawing, they see a very chiseled chin. For that reason, if it were my drawing, I probably would gave made the chin a little less prominant. A minor concern, to be sure.

This is really nice, my favorite among your most recent drawings.
