If you need to fix your art
I can smudge around that part
If you need to dodge then dodge and burn
You're not alone |

Hi Poxen.
The ears are a not aligned properly, and the whites you've used as lightning could be thightened up a little bit, but.... really, really nice work. You've captured a nice expression, and the picture has really beautiful values. You have a reason to be proud of yourself.

you got da tall skills, my friend.
suggest: i wonder if the highlights of the hair could define the top edge of your skull rather than the continuous dark outline around the form, kindof, sortof, to open it up... to let those ideas you must have in there flex with your technique and observation of lighting/form. |

That's really nice, Poxen
I agree with joachim, it's indeed one of your finest.
Some small picky crits:
The eyes looks a little bit too bright, compared to the skin wich is darker, making the eyes glow, it gives a nice effect though.
The wrinkles in the forehead looks a little odd too.
You have improved a lot!
Keep it up!

Geeyah!
Dude, your pic is spooky! You've made yourself look like someone from Village of The Damned.
I like it though! |
