Thanks :)
I dunno - I don't really see it that way...maybe I've just stared at it wayyy too long. It could also be because she's sort of turned to the side and so her eyes are a different shape? *shrug*

She is slightly turned to one side and here's the deal. The eye that is closer (not much at all, but closer) is smaller than the one that's supposed to be further away. This confuses the senses and makes the drawing look "weird". It should be the other way around, closer bigger, further smaller. If you look at the whites of the eyes, you'll see that her left eye shows more white on one side of the iris than on the other while her right eye basically has an equal amount of white on both sides of the iris...which again is backwards, her right eye would be more likely to show less white at the outside corner and the left eye more like you have her right eye as far as the whites of the eyes go. Also the corner of her mouth (her left our right) extends a little too far. The colors and shading are very good though, excellent really. The skull is pretty much a cylinder with a rounded top. You need to bend the facial features around the curve of the cylinder instead of portraying them as being on a flat surface.

Thanks, Axil! You really clarified the problem well for me. I can see it now. (I wish I could fix it, but oh well. Space constraints. :)

the pokemon world would be the coolest place to live.

That's actualy turning out realy cool. I'm not a huge pokemon fan anymore, but that's still cool....

you got it trish the pokemon world would be awesome and you only have 128 more to go (129 counting mew)

Yes it's a real place! It's on Cuba Street in Wellington in New Zealand between the $2 shop and Farmers department store, and next to it there's a sculpture of a giant tuatara that someone drew teeth on with a black marker. It's where Blanket Man takes his baths, and apparently Elijah Wood pissed in it once.

oh, and http://www.bucketfountain.co.nz

uhm. no it wasnt inspired by anything.

lovely flowers :)

happy little flowers would look pretty on my wall... needs some yellow tho

just like dba, I keep staring at this seeing if I can find something new :D
I really realllyyy like the scratchy-ness atthe center of the picture <33

Just too cool.

oh man! i didn't even see the man in the lady til you said that, archer.

i rotated this picture all around in another program. haha. i found all sorts of fun things. if you look up 'spiffy' in the dictionary, you'll see this i bet.

nice tail..i think its good

Aahhh a kittie kittie!!! Cooooooooll..... >.> ok now i just sound like a little kid.... >_< .... Anyway i love this, she is really cute!! Love that background!!!

i can see her weiner

I think this is my favorite one of yours so far! I love the stunning detail that you did in the hair, lips and eyes. It's breathtaking! You also made the makeup look like makeup, that is, you gave it loads of texture for not much color detail to work with.

wow...

Oh wow greta..those eyes are hypnotizing. Love those little bits of grey in her hair too. She is beautiful..lovely work again :D

I disagree with you, this is not up to the standard of intermidiate level, and besides the more critacism (sp?) the more that person can improve on. Critasism (sp?) is nothing to get affended of and nor is it personal. Hideyourface may not have included why he thinks its beginner, but you should know by looking at this anyone can draw that, theres no colour just a plain background and no heart gone into this drawing. Just because its over 30mins and supposidly has effort doesn't mean its intermidiate, anyone can do that, if thats the case then everybody would be drawing on intermidiate. I suggest you work on your pictures more and stick to the beginners board for doodles like this, otherwise carry on what you do best ^___^ like to see more pictures from you and see your full potential!!
By this I mean, go for something you've never thought of drawing before, something that will blow everyones mind and think ' WOAAAAA THIS KICKS BUTT!!! '
Sorry if I seemed that I was getting at you but I couldn't resist >___<

*criticism (It's spelled like critic)
*offended
*it's (its is possessive)
*supposedly
*intermediate (it's freaking written on this page)

You asked for critique, however, so I am not surprised people gave such comments. You can't draw realism, but that's does not seem to apply here since you did not even attempt to do so. I would say, yes, this is beginner level. While the lines are fairly clean, they still lack thought and seem rather arbitrary. Random text does not a make a picture better or more abstract, and in this case, I would say it detracts from the overall piece. I imagine you added it because you felt the picture was missing something, it still is.

This is all very fine and well for a quick sketch, but it's hard to imagine it took you 30 minutes.

*le-gasp* Here's an actual tip on realism. =O
The eyes are generally a bit further back on the head, that's probably why the forehead looks 'funny' to you. ^^;;
Though I think this picture really looks cool in a designy sort of way, it does kind of look like she has just one eye in the middle of her forehead.
The shape of the head/chin bugs me just a little, too, but it's not too far off, there, and I'm sure not all people have perfectly round heads anyways.

I hope I helped!
