Description So I stole this exercise/challenge from ! Here is the blank one: [link]

Don't ask me about the title, man. I'm just following her naming convention.
I spent an evening on this, and I have no idea why I felt the need to finish, ink, colour, and shade this when it is clearly off in many ways, but um... I did all of those things.
ANYWAYS!
It's Tareth! Because her face gives me troubles sometimes. I will admit, straight-on is my least favourite angle in the entire world. I never use it, ever, except when drawing character reference. I feel it is somewhat unnecessary for anything other than reference, though. You rarely see people straight-on. >3>

I am super open to critique on this! By this I don't mean "please stare at this until you find something wrong with it," but if something looks off to you, please tell me about it and I will gladly listen to any suggestions on how to fix it! Not that I'm going to fix THIS one, necessarily, but consistency is a thing I am trying to get better at.

I'm gonna try to do Severian and Jonan next. We'll see if that actually happens.

I have to say this is pretty awesome. However the upwards back view makes Tareth look like she has a bit of a turkey neck. At least to me that is. Nice job though.

Aww Tareth! I must congratulate on this, because I think this is the most consistent I've seen Tareth so far. Excellent work Shazz! The only thing I see is to watch the width of the neck in the 3/4ths upward shot. Other than that I think this a great reference to add to my collection.

SWEET. You did one!! I love it! She's so cute, and I love her grin. XD My total fave is the downwards 3/4th. She looks so great colored and inked! You rock!!

Aww, thank you so much! OH MY GOODNESS you are so cool to come and check it out.

I've started drawing these for some of my other characters (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME), and downward 3/4 seems to be working out surprisingly well for a few people! I thought it would be weird for me, but no, straight-on continues to be the most difficult angle EVER. XD

NO I KNOW!!

Straight on is so hard for me, and its the first one!! WHAT WAS I THINKING.

The symmetry is hard, and my straightons still kind of look like they're VERY SLIGHTLY looking one way or the other. Total fail. I saw your other one, TOTALLY awesome, I cannot wait for more!
