Nice speedy. I like the subdued colors, they give a somber feel to the portrait.

Thanks.
I've been fiddling around with more muted colours; I think they fit my approach better.

I love the brow in particular, it's very well-defined and really creates that 3D feel to this portrait. Awesome stuff!
The only crit I have is that the ear might be a little too far forward on his head

No problem - no idea if I'm even right but I know you accept constructive crit so thought I may as well add my thoughts ^^

Nice painting I think that the colors are richer than your previous works,which is good thing and i like the texture on the background and the beard.hmm one thing that i noticed is that his left ear is abit too close to his left eye(maybe thats just your style but i'm not sure..tell me if i'm wrong).

Wow, I like this. You're good at profiles. The watercolor strokes(?) add texture to the beard and background, too.

I thought so. I just didn't know if you'd technically still call 'em strokes... although now that I think again, I don't see why you wouldn't.

Neat! I'd probably be inclined to a dd a hint more pink in the cheeks, but then, I work in mixed media coloured pencils/ink/watercolours, so, you know

Is he by any chance wearing a Ring of Eyebrow Vanishing or something along those lines?
You should try going into detail more in faces. I don't know if that's just your style, but your faces tend to look really uncharacterized.

GH-MoNGo In reply to SBoggart [2008-03-10 16:15:47 +0000 UTC]
Nope.
Define "more detail"? What specifically should I work on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SBoggart In reply to GH-MoNGo [2008-03-10 22:48:07 +0000 UTC]
More facial features like wrinkles (even small ones if they're young), the little things here and there. Even try going into further detail with the eyes, try to add little details like the veins around the iris.
I find the best way to practice this is with angry faces. Anger distorts the face to use all of these details and wrinkles and whatnot.
