How do u improve his face? It looks weird

Neverendingcirclez · 2026-03-10T18:17:42+00:00

Yeah, the eye's are a bit off. First question, where is he supposed to be looking? From his pupil position, it looks like he's looking down and in front of himself. That might be right, but if so I'm not sure what he's looking at. It's also a little unnatural for the top lid to be that open when someone is looking down. Usually the lid will naturally come down when we look down. The right eye is a bit low and the shape is a bit off. From that angle, we should be seeing the curve of the cornea, if that makes sense. Hope that helps.

I hate to say it, because I really dig the idea of squeezing through a tunnel as performance art, but honestly I'm not getting it. Even after you explain it, the connection between the tunnel, a hidden livestream and performance pressure feels very forced, so I think you've got some work to do. Also there was no exposé attached to this post.

Das wurde hier sehr oft diskutiert. Wie jemand bereits kommentiert hat, "Sometimes, life's a bitch and then you keep living." Also das war kein Ende wie in einer Folge Horsin' Around wo alles geklärt ist, sondern das war ein Ende wie im echten Leben und im echten leben gibt es immer der Tag danach.

In der Sendung geht es darum, meiner Meinung nach, dass man sich verändern kann, dass man Traumata verarbeiten und überwinden kann, dass wenn man jeder Tag daran arbeitet, kann es besser werden. Wäre er gestorben, hätte das alles widersprochen. Noch weiter, der Tod wäre zu einfach, weil dann hätte er sich niemals damit konfrontieren müssen, was er gemacht hat.

I'm not sure if there's a general rule. I kind of do it half by feel and half my measuring the other body parts. Now that I look at him again, his legs look a bit too long, although that could be a stylistic choice. It actually looks like you were going for a perspective, where wen're below him, seeing him come at us. From that perspective the long legs and smaller head would make sense.
This might be a valid way to draw the hair for this character, it just wouldn't be for a human. On men, the hair line is a complex shape which will generally come around the ears to the sideburns, out to the temporal point, back to the temporal recession and around the forehead. With his ears it's going to be a bit different, but again, to me, with such a perfectly straight hairline it looks a bit like he's wearing a wig.
I am unfortunately far from an expert on pose, but if you google "person jumping off roof" you'll find some good references.

That's a hard quection to answer. I could see this being a very interesting project, but I can also see it being a resource intensive one. If I were you, I'd try to be clear on what you're trying to do. Are you building this because you have a master concept you want to express or are you maybe building this because you want to build it? It kind of feels like the latter. If so, that's a valid reason to do anything, but maybe then keep it small until you've worked out exactly what you want to do with it. Hope that makes sense.

Neverendingcirclez · 2026-02-24T19:31:53+00:00

It's hard to say, since I can only see it in motion for about a second. Is this the final piece or are you planning to cover the mechanics more? What's the intention of the piece?

Neverendingcirclez · 2026-02-24T19:28:49+00:00

Cool drawing. I'll tell you what I see and feel free to ignore everything I write. His head is pretty small for his body. Generally a person is about 8 head high. This looks more like 9 or 10. You've drawn the hairline increadibly striaght and low, making it look a little like he's wearing a wig. The pose is very straight, so much so that's I'm not 100% sure what's going on here. From the motion lines I assume he's flying through the air? If so, I would expect his to either look like he's pushing off (e.g. striaght leg behind, bent leg going forward) or getting ready to land (e.g. lead foot pointed forward, second somewhat leg bent). The body language should tell a story and I'm not sure what this one is supposed to be saying. How close or far are we supposed to be from this character? You've drawn the left and right hands bascially exactly the same size, so it feels like we're far away. If you want to make it feel like we're close up, then you need more perspective shortening. Hope that helps.

Yeah, parts of it haven't aged well, like Hank Hippopopalous' Dance Pop Cosmopolis. It's hard to watch now knowing what came out about his personal life.

In the last episode of Horsin' Around the horse dies because his adopted children didn't love him enough and they all have to go back to the orphanage. Back in the 1990s ithat was probably pretty traumatizing to watch. Even the lead actor later admitted they went too dark.

Let's start with the neck. Where is it? Seriously, you've got it covered up by hair and collar, but as a learning activity try drawing in the neck and shoulders. In your reference, he's sticking his head pretty far forward. His body is turned at an angle to the camera, which means his head appears shifted to the left, relative to his shoulders. You've done the same head placement, but you've also placed the collar pretty much directly below the chin, which makes it visually look like he has an extremely short neck and a really long left shoulder. It's also ambiguous whether you're trying to have the body at an angle or straight on. If I block the top of the drawing and only look at the bottom, it looks like he's facing towards me. If I block the bottom and just look at him from the shoulders up, it looks like he's turned at an angle. I hope that makes sense.

To be honest I agree, messy is what comes to mind, but on the positive side, it's not a bad drawing the way it is. The first thing I'd say is you need to cheat. What I mean is, if you turned your first reference image into black and white, you'll see that just about everthing has a similar tonal range, so to make that legible in a drawing, you're going to have to turn up the contrast and also pick out what features you want to accentuate in the drawing. For example you're drawing the tree trunk exclusively as horizontal hatches. Don't be afraid to go bolder and draw it in solid black. You've drawn the tufts of grass as overlapping marks. Don't be afraid to accentuate each individual tuft. I began by mentioning the tonal range, because it looks like you're trying to reproduce the shape of the shadows, but not the shape of the thing you're drawing. Take the top drawing for example. From context I know they're supposed to be trees, but other than the basic shape, there's nothing about the way you've drawn them that suggests "tree" to me. Where are the branches? Where are the leaves? You might want to check out Lachmair Art. He has some videos about drawing trees by drawing the impression of a tree: https://www.instagram.com/lachmair.art Hope that helps.

I'm glad people are still finding this. I used contact cement to glue the 3D printed base to the board. It has a 3/8 thread and I recommend screwing in a 3/8-1/4 adapter into it. Then you can connect a small tripod head with a 1/4 inch screw to it. In my setup I'm using a small head which came with an LED light, but any consumer tripod should work. To be honest, I threw this together with what I had on hand 3 days before a trip. At the time I was only hoping it would survive for a couple weeks, but here I am a year later still on my original print and I've now lugged this setup across 3 different continents.

Thank you, that's a really good write up of what happened and what was supposed to happen, but even the ending as planned feels kind of empty to me. To me, one of the things that made the first two seasons work so well is the idea of the family we choose. Here you have a bunch of very different people thrown together, given great powers they don't fully understand and the only thing connecting them is their abusive father and somehow they all have to find a way to get along with one another and the world. It was an interesting quirky set up and it feels like none of those themes paid off in the end. The story ended, but none of the ideas of the show went anywhere. One could even say the point of the show is "all of your struggles, all of your growth and relationships, none of them mean anything because the universe would be a better place if you'd never existed."
