Description I like brown eyes. A random portrait I did in between other stuff. I'm trying to understand face planes on a more intuitive level because believe it or not, head proportions give me hell. It reminds me of the style ofΒ an artist whose name I forgot.

Note to self: Every portrait from now on has to include a full bust at the very least, MontΓ©. Floating heads are just lazy.

Tools: Sketchbook Pro/ Intuos Pro

Hahahahahah, I know what you mean, faces are fun when they're little sketches on top of full bodies, but god forbid I ever have to try and paint/draw a full portrait, facial planes mess me up too @_@;; Β 
But this is seriously gorgeous!! Β I love how you bring a lot of your own style/sensibility to it, and the colors are so subtle but so gorgeous~ <3

Thanks! I think personal style is important in portraits. And a looooot of different colors went in to making this one, so I'm glad I managed to make it appear subtle. haha

Aaahhhhh I love that so much though, paintings can get so over-rendered and boring so fast, I love seeing people who push color in portraits *-*

I think the same thing sometimes. They begin to lose personality.

I think she's a beautiful floaty head I don't believe your lies!! All your faces look so good though and proportional. You could have fooled me forever. Your use of colors is so good and I have to say my favorite parts are the lips and nose I love how you painted those areas.
Cant wait to see more.

Haha, thanks! I like her too, just wish I framed the image better. The lips are my favorite part as well. I like how they turned out.

And yeah, proportions of the head are a pain to me; I typically end up getting them right in the end, but generally they start out pretty wonky.
