wow you seem to improve fast too!
i really like the way her hair is shaded, you did a very good job on that!! like some people already pointed out, the right eye isnt quite right, but thats the difficult part, so nonetheless you did a great job on it!!!

Really good drawing!!

The hair is just perfect couldnt imagine it looking better then it is right now!!

Also the mouth area is awesomely good!! it looks incredibley real!! good job on that part

Only thing i see is that her eyes are a bit out of perspective, but i know(or understand) that is really hard to draw1! anyway good job!!

ErikBjornor In reply to RobertPrinsen [2010-05-06 17:01:24 +0000 UTC]

well, actually about the eyes, she's supposed to be dreaming away or how to explain it. She's not focusing her eyes to the camera.

Thank you, the mouth i'm satisfied with but the hair still looks unnatural :/

RobertPrinsen In reply to ErikBjornor [2010-05-06 21:02:23 +0000 UTC]

okay

i think i know what i noticed to the eyes.. the forehead
is i think a bit to high..

But as i told so many times and keep telling.. drawing faces is incredible hard!>. this is what we people all recognize the best. we can read faces without realizing it trying to draw such things is incredible hard..

we as people cant fake a Real smile for for example a picture for the camera, a real smile can be seen in a certain muscle in the face(cant remember which one XD) and that muscle we cant trigger by faking the smile

It's that hard to even read a face, let alone drawing one so a good job again my friend!!

ErikBjornor In reply to RobertPrinsen [2010-05-07 18:45:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is extremely hard but it's worth it. I think it's so fascinating drawing faces, i mean to really get the likeness to paper and by that honour the person you draw. Specially if it is to someone (i will start do commissions in the summer perhaps ).

Thank you, and to be honest the things i listen to MOST from your comments are the constructive critique so keep them coming! The other things make me glad and get me motivation but the constructive makes me better

Thanks again, i'm really glad i found you in this anthill of people in dA xD

haha great to hear again how much you appreciate my oppinions and critiques.

but 1 thing also the things that make you feel glad, help you get better, when someone feels good, it's much more easy to do things good

and shure i will give some good constructive critisism on every piece of art you upload


Okay, sounds good curious how much commisions you'll get


I was just busy working on my portfolio might be something for you too it's here on dA, and very easy to make, tho, lookes good
here's mine: *needs some work tho*

I want to upload my new logo on the homepage, when my logo is finished
also i need to find some good pictures of products i made

okay great
if you have questions about the judging.
I gave all piece that were entered at 19.54 pm on saturday 8th of may a review, (which i've send to adrienGCD)
also i gave them points. On a scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being the best

If you could give your oppinion on the same scale it would be easy for Adrien to make a average point total for every piece
