[Ragnarok]

Well, here it is.
I think it's my first full "painting"



Just in case someone is interested I will show this:



The different tile is a correction made by S4Sb while I was trying to understand what was wrong with my original colors. Thanks again

I think it's finished, but being myself a begginner probably there are tons of flaws so point them out please, as well as any sugestion you might want to make.

Yay! You finished him! I still think the formation of the nose is great, you did a good job shading it too

I think perhaps this image could be improved if you smoothed out the shading on the left side of his face. Sort of like how it's shaded in the middle pic of the bottom row, but a little more defined than that.

Also he could use some depth to his eyelids, and perhaps an indication of some eyelashes. Not enough to make him look girly of course, but just enough so that his eyeballs aren't quite so naked

Good job

Thanks for answering Jezebel

I will try your suggestions, but with the shadows I was trying to make then hard, like in the dusk, but I'm not good at it
Oh, and the pic you pointed is the one S4sb did

[tayete]

Ragnarok, that guy seems like an old musketeer, you know, that perilla makes him look like D'Artagnan.

My crits are:
a) I think he seems to be "appearing" from the right down angle, because his shoulders are unbalanced.

b) Did he lost part of his ear in a duel?

The rest I think is great...I only hope you did not do it in your English class!!!

[Ragnarok]

You are right about the angle of the shoulders. I made the sketch with the paper in a weird position and that's the result The problem is I think everything is a bit twisted in that direction and I fear changing the shoulders may make the rest look awkard, but I would try.

And about the ear, well, I've seen lots of different ears, and some tend to be next to the head in strange positions, that's what I was trying to achieve, but I think I haven't

[S4Sb]

Colours are much better than in the first version. It looks warm.

You seem to improve with every brushstroke you do

I'm looking forward to your next pic

[Sempere]

Ey ya !

I think this is your first photoshop picture that I have seen.

It�s funny how you let some colors as a palette... Yo could use the photoshop palette... (although sometime I preffer use alt+brush to pic color from the own picture too)

I agree with jezebel about the hard edged cheek shadow. I think that for this drawing a smother one could be better.

Y creo que las lineas de los mofletes podrias haberlas eliminado sustituyendolas por color.

See ya Ragnarok !!!
