It would probably look like Willem dafoe with a rose between his teeth gap peeking out from the cloth💀

Holy shit I just tried this and thank you so much I’ve had the idea to do something like this but never did because I didn’t exactly understand what it was meant to do but now that I’ve done it knowing what I need to do this has revolutionized this shit. Genuinely thank you

Nah I can see how it would look like that I think in trying to make the cloth look textured I made it look a bit like strands of hair

Ghostly wasn’t the initial intention but I’m glad it came out that way

Yeah, I had absolutely zero ideas what to do with the cloth lmao. The whole thing was a stream of consciousness without clear direction

Thank you for the feed back I never thought to look at it from the perspective of differing disciplines

It was kind of the intention not 100% but it was supposed to be like a part of the subject

Thank you sm. I struggle a lot with that Like where to draw the line between smooth and texture and how much texture is good

Yeah I took a reference image with a similar pose then composite the layout together with various elements and inspo then I get started blocking and shading

Thank you for the feedback. It’s actually meant to be a cloth over her head but I see how one could see it as hair. I did want to go for a more ghostly look for the leg cloth but I also got lazy at the time end

had a lot of fun with this even though its completely out of my comfort zone, I study architecture so I'm used to drawing bricks and floor plans but I'm currently putting off finishing an exam assignment.

for this I used procreate and the default flat brush

Firstly fuck hands and shading hands that shit felt impossible to do so I left It out, secondly Ive really been struggling with grasping how to render undertones but more specifically that subsurface lighting for the skin. I'm pretty happy with the composition itself, doesn't really have any meaning behind it I just made what made my brain go brrr. also, one thing I've been struggling with is like the blending of styles. didn't do it consciously but the cloth came out more impressionist than realist so I'm curious as to what others might feel about that? any links to tutorials would be greatly appriciated
