Moonshade (Dry Pastels)

3/4 view (or rather, my attempt at it) of Moonshade, drawn with dry pastels. It took me between 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours to do -- very long time, for me, as art goes at this point! Her right eye (your left) got messed up, and I figured out why: I made it narrower horizontally to show the 3/4 view on the eye, then accidentally scaled down the height, so that it just looks like a small eye rather than a partial view of a normal one. Also, I'm still working on not smudging the rest of the paper with pastel... We'll call it the "dreamy clouds of color effect" today! That sounds deliberate!
The rest of the picture looks *all right* to me, but I know it's slightly awkward. I think there's something wrong with her mouth. So, constructive criticism is welcome here, don't be shy!

You're right about the eye, though I think it doesn't really matter; the eye doesn't necessarily look smaller, just more closed as in a wink, because you've kept the iris at the right size compared to the other eye. At least I think so.
 I do believe you are making it harder on yourself by giving her squareshaped eyes. This angle for a face is much easier to learn if you look at some photos.The mouth is also easy to get better; you've simply drawn it too far to the left. A head is basically round and to determine where to put eyes, nose, mouth, chin and such, it helps to draw extra lines that follow the round shape. That way you'll find what is the middle of the face, even if you draw it in a 3/4 angle. I hope this all helps! Great job on trying out new things! |
