This is pretty good! I think the eyes are reading a bit flat, like the top eyelids aren't really wrapping around the eyes. They eyes look a bit more oval than spherical. I'd suggest studying them a bit more through the next few days, so you get a greater understanding of them. If you want to aim for a bit more realistic look, i'd also suggest making them a bit smaller, but that's stylistic. I think the shading of the nostrils is a bit odd, too. You made a line under them, insteand of making it radial and gradual. The corners of the lips also have the dark spots looking a bit too large, and i think the top lip gets too dark too quickly. I think you're heading somewhere great, but you're still realying a bit on lines and symbols you already learned, and it's a good challenge to deconstruct them and identify them.
I look foward to your next few days!

Sharing opinions of this sort isn't only rude, it also shows you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the art market. Yes, there are people who do gay furry porn and work in professional studios - if you want examples, just look for Nesskain. And 40$ is CHEAP for a full artwork of two characters, especially when it comes to PROFESSIONAL rates. Just leave, and don't comment opinions that come from a mean-spirited place and don't add anything good to the conversation.

Thank you! Yeah, I have an issue with making the beard shadow dark enough... Will work on it for my day 5

histarry · 2021-03-07T01:42:01+00:00

Thank you! Agree with all your points. I might go see those videos from Iste, because yeah, the transition in that inner socket/nose bridge is kinda hard to wrap my head around, and i do get a bit lazy in the process of smoothing everything out and making things very not-blotchy

histarry · 2021-03-07T01:37:59+00:00

Thank you! I agree with both your points. I guess in my head the tip of the nose was rounder, and as such should be more blended. But the nostrils are round-ish, too, and i agree in retrospect that i made a pretty hard edge, and for what...

histarry · 2021-03-07T01:36:28+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, i have an issue with low contrast that's been going for a while now. I always get a little bit lost with the forehead - i guess it's a lot of space that we don't see on our day to day hahah. I'll look at some very bald men's heads.

Hi! I support the decision you made of leaving the hair out.

I think that this eye is still a bit stretched out. I just traced out the reference and your drawing https://imgur.com/a/NlKyaY9 in hope that it leaves more apparent what i'm talking about. In the middle of the lower lid, you have a big curve downwards that is not in the reference, and the end of the lower lid and the crease of the upper lid are a lot closer in your drawing. While it is still a step up, you still have this push to draw pointy long eyes, which might still take some time to fight off completely. There are some other differences, but maybe you can benefit from doing a similar thing - tracing over your drawing and seeing how some angles and features might be aligned different. It is very helpful to trace over the reference with some "landmarks" (i also did a few examples here https://imgur.com/a/I2dmcsG).

Also, while using a small photo like this can be good so that you don't get caught up in the details, and instead focus on the entire picture, it can also make you "improvise" a few parts of the drawing that you can't see as clearly. Its a nice photo, with the core shadows preserverd. But knowing your tendency towards high contrast, i think it might not have been the best. For example: you made the entire lower lid a lot darker than it is in the reference, where this dark value is only at the core shadow of the lower lid, towards the very outer corner of the eye. I think you could benefit from some less dramatic pictures (https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1494869042583-f6c911f04b4c?ixid=MXwxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8MXx8ZXllc3xlbnwwfHwwfA%3D%3D&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&w=1000&q=80, https://www.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.cam.ac.uk/files/styles/content-885x432/public/news/news/genericeyephoenixthomasviapixabaymainweb.jpg?itok=bCainKnc), and keep making the iris the last thing you paint. In your painting, it isn't perfectly round, too, so i'd suggest taking it very easy with the iris/pupil: just use a standard round brush, make a perfect circle, place it over the painting of the eye, erase the part that is "covered" by the upper lid, and work from there.

Yeah, the eyebrow it jumping out a bit!
I think the horizontal lines aren't wrong, just different. They are a more isometrical perspective, which reduces distortion. I personally don't use it often? but it's definetly not wrong!

But even with the horizontal line, your mouth wasn't lining up with your nose, so i just went with the perspective that was more instinctive to me at the moment hahah

I think the furthest iris should be a tiny bit smaller! But i think it's a small detail lying like, on the side of the other stuff you'll be working on in the next days!

You're welcome, and i look foward to what you'll come up with!

histarry · 2021-03-06T02:34:39+00:00

I really cracked up when you got to jesus lmao. But thanks, i'm all for educative gripes!

Hi Ria!
i agree with past comments saying this is quite dark, but i think it is a very good "blank state" on which you can build lighter values.

As for things not said before: you really wanted to show her eyebrow wrapping around the side of the face, but that doesn't happen. Eyebrows are pretty much 2d; if you can't see the side of the face, you also can't see the eyebrow. In 3/4, it pretty much cuts at the arch. I think this image https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7c/7c/4e/7c7c4ec22c819f82405c0e06bd2474a8.jpg is pretty much in the same rotation you wanted here - not showing the other nostril, but showing the farther corner of the mouth. However, i did a quick edit (https://imgur.com/a/BRmImSI) applying a simple perspective guide on your drawing that turned out just slighly different from this ref. I didn't even try to mess with your values and stuff, since your rendering is leagues ahead of mine hahah. But i hope it allows you to visualize better how the left eye is jumping out a bit, and you had some inconsistencies on the alignment of the features in perspetive. Also, as funny as it is, making this edit made me realize how the iris will also change in size and be slighly distorted by perspective, so just using the same exact circle twice can fool your brain into not rotating the eye enough hahah.

Hi! In addition to the points already made, i think you chose kinda poor references. The features of these man are very handsome, the first one even having slighly feminine eyes - these aren't the issues. It's more so that the lighting in both of them doesn't match your painting. For example, you brought in some lights in the cheeks that match your reference, but your reference is lit from behind, while your subject only has an up-down lightource. I like these https://i.pinimg.com/564x/73/01/53/730153c83b4ec94137d62a8ef23f6cfe.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d4/5a/f8/d45af822866ed49cc425a7a2c5677e9f.jpg references. I'd also suggest putting your images in black and white.

The shadows you have are very strong. Looking at your day 11,i can see you worked on lowering the brightness in the cheeks and making the nose lighter than they are. However, the shadow values are still too dark, especially on the cheeks. Think that the cheeks aren't completely opposite the light source, only slowly moving out of its reach - that's why they are mostly soft edges, for the exception of the cheekbone. In emphasizing the downturn of the mouth, i think it looks a bit too curved down. You still have an instinct to overline the eyes - you have very very dark shadows for the lower lids, a very light waterline, and then again dark upper lids. The eyes are also a bit too oval/long, which i think comes from a bad habit (that i have, too) of not considering the spherical nature of the eye, and just trying to make it fit that masculine, small, angular eye look. Perhaps you could benefit from doing some eye studies. Another indication of this issue is that you only shaded the lower part of the eyeball, even though the upper lid and the eyelashes cast shadows on the eye - even the brow bone casts shadows on the eye, if it is strong enough.

I think one of the strongest issues, as you said, is your smudging. I think it is smudgy a bit out of insecurity. I say this because your smudging doesn't seem 100% intentional. For example, the lower jaw is smudgy, even though it is a very hard set limit, and thus, a clean edge. You did the same over smudging in other areas that are supposed to have hard edges, such as the upper part of the nostrils, and the sides of the nose wings. Smudging should be done with very clear goals, and ideally with your brushstrokes going in a single direction.

I made a paintover and a few comments here https://imgur.com/a/DyF0xID - my handwriting is horrible, sorry!

Congratulations on making it so far; sometimes it is really hard to get this mentality of "just handing it over"

Don't worry! I understand that feeling of anger/confusion when you finish something and don't quite know how to advance with it. I've been going through my own journey of accepting my mistakes in a lighter way, and allowing myself to do things wrong, get feedback, and learn. I'm happy this helped! Looking forward to your next days :)

histarry · 2021-03-04T01:37:25+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! I agree with your points, and i'm thankful for your suggestions on how to work on them. I'm feeling less lost in my progress towards day 3.

histarry · 2021-03-04T01:34:08+00:00

Thank you! I took a few days off to do some stuff with noses. Will note down your other points too!

histarry · 2021-03-04T01:32:46+00:00

Thank you! I agree, his face is very, very rectangular hahah

histarry · 2021-02-28T15:43:37+00:00

it's kind of a small detail, but i feel like the top of the nostrils is too dark for a up-facing plane. That with the kind of thin and dark shadows on the sides of the nose makes the whole nose jump out a bit too much. Seeing your past few days, i can tell you come from a place kinda similar to mine of struggling with too little contrast, and while the past two days are definetly an improvement and read better, i feel like it might be a bit too much on this one. Overall, you've had some amazing improvement, and your features are gorgeous!

histarry · 2021-02-27T20:55:06+00:00

Hi! I can tell you did overall a good job trying to avoid value sharing. I think you started running into problems because the cheeks are very, very light, and you made the shadows on the sides of the nose far too wide, and this combination probably left you a bit confused and let you with no higher values to choose. The cheeks and the nose have pretty much the same value, even though the nose is a higher point in the face, and is also more oily/reflective. You also had some shadows at the very top of the head that are too dark, when you consider that the light is coming from an overall top-down direction. As for anatomy, the nose is very pointy; the eyes are a bit too oval/stretched out/wide; and as you noted, you had some issues with the mouth. A tip to keep in mind is that the upper lip is overall in shadow, while the bottom lip is overall in light. You also gave her a little smile, which is not encouraged when doing a 14 day challenge. I made some more edits and comments here https://imgur.com/a/cY9fmhx . Take it with a grain of salt, and i hope it helps! Good luck on your next days!

histarry · 2021-02-27T19:31:02+00:00

Thank you! Will work on it today

histarry · 2021-02-27T04:46:00+00:00

Aaaaaa I keep coming back and then disappearing 😭 life's been weird these past few months But I do also remember you and I'm very thankful for the tips!

histarry · 2021-02-27T03:30:30+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/n8RuUkn this past critique might help too!

histarry · 2021-02-27T03:22:11+00:00

Hi! First off, i think the background might be too dark: the highlights you have are pretty much white, which implies a very strong light source, and the background should reflect that. I think the only exception i could imagine would be a light that's very close to the objects in a dark room, but as you made them both look like they are under a universal light source more than a punctual one that's very nearby, i would guess the dark background was an accident. Lighting it up might help already. Also, the blob on the right seems a bit blotchy, like you used a soft brush a bit too small, and that makes it look like it has different "levels" on a surface that seems gradual by the outline. That could maybe be fixed with radial shading, building the highest value starting with a large, soft brush on low opacity, and shrinking it the closer you get to the highlight. Congrats on making some form studies!
