The iris and pupil are pretty good, just make sure you don't make the eye looking like a football (very common eye mistake...).Try looking in the mirror and take a good look at the shape of the outside of your eye.It won't be an oval looking like a football.Actually, the part the eye is closest to your nose is pretty rounded as the line comes down from the top of your eye.Another thing to watch out for is how much white is above and below the iris, otherwise it will look like the person is scared.Anyways, I like the inner iris and pupil, good luck with the rest.

Well.. added a bit more deetail to the bottom part of the eye... Not bad? Alittle better? What do you think?
Gigandas (edited Feb 1, 2004)
Umm....honestly^^;?I can't really tell any differences from the last revision (not trying to be mean but....><)....you know, you can't be afraid to change things more dramatically.like darkening up the skin tones so it doesn't blend so much into the whites of the eye.You might also want to add the eyelid unless this person is one of those people whose eye lid can't be seen.Another thing that always makes an eye look more relaxed is to pull the eyelid a bit over the iris.Otherwise you got the surprised look.I used to struggle on eyes before until I practiced over and over.Here's another trick when drawing an eye.People draw eyes with an outline(being the eye lashes) that goes all the way around the eye.You when you do this, you leave the center bottom (right below the iris) with the skin tone colors.It makes it look SOOOOO much more realistic.Add these ideas together and you can really make something out of it.Like I said, use a mirror.It WILL help.Hope to see some dramatic changes by the next revision^^.

P.S. For some reference on what to draw, you can use my drawing "The Eye of the Wretched" to get a feel for what I'm explaining other than the surprised look thing because I intensionally made the eye look surprised in that drawing...^^;
YukiEiriSan (Feb 2, 2004)
n_n I am going for the surprised look, to be honest, so there's no problem with that. And I'm not anywhere close to a perfectionist. I'm actually happy with it the way it is.. But I appreciate the critiicism. Like I said. I'm nowhere as good as you or anyone else. .. But I'll never get better if I'm not satisfied first with what I can achieve. I think compared to my works in the past, this is a leap ahead.

It looks like an old movie. Awesome! I can't believe you have the patience of drawing it in 9 hours. But it's all worth it
laurael (Jan 31, 2004)
I bet the real paintings you've done are fantastic. I'd buy your paintings any day...love the dark style of them. This would look great in a room with a pool table, old western art...yeah...
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 31, 2004)
Thanks, Laurael. My real ones I think are a bit better than here because I'm so new to doing this on the computer, but I sometimes wish some of them didn't turn out so dark. It's usually not consciously intentional - maybe it's just my mood at the time ;).
Gigandas (Feb 1, 2004)
Once again, great job.Unlike me, you weren't like "Eh, I drew the main person and I'm too lazy to draw another person in the picture so uh....I'm just gonna leave it the way it is..."^^;.You did a good job of bringing out the main focus, I'm impressed.

That's so nice. I like the rough coloring, kind of like oil pastel. I think you should add a little lighting to the nose tip. and one of the eye seems a little higher than the other

I'm so glad to have "free" time again! Last week I spent too much time prepping for a dance competition... glad to be back trying to draw.

Ok. *drops it* I lost my ref so I screwed with it... this version is ultimately cos I submitted then immediately thought it needed to be darker....I really can't blend.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 10, 2004)
I think it's terrific. It's way better than some of the crap I post in the advanced section.

I was trying to practice shading...it didn't work out too well...any suggestions??

Gigandas (Jan 29, 2004)
Actually....you should have just used the dark color to create the shadow rather than mix it with the lighter one...

No, Marcello, the shadow is behind him, on the inside ledge of the cliff that you cant see. Consistent with all the other shadows. (That is, if he is casting one yet. He just now jumped :) He would have to still be standing on the ledge for there to be a shadow there.
Look (Jan 29, 2004)
lol @ that jump onto the ground comment. If you move him furthur up, it might help to clear it up. I like the sensation in the drawing, probably because of the free and open pose of the chracter. Feels like flying.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 29, 2004)
Yeah, I do see what he means... I probably wasn't successful in portraying how it actually looked - We are (supposed to be) viewing it from a rock a little higher up on the cliff looking downward at him and he was right on the edge. But if i gotta explain it, it means it sucks! lol

Gigandas (Jan 28, 2004)
Ummm.......I dunno.......don't watch enough movies to know the answer^^;;.But I would like to comment^^.Once again, I like the hand!The shading is real nice.I wish I could draw hands.......you have to teach me sometime><.Guess the space problem never recovered....I wish I could see it's "true" completion....><.

Say what you want, but I think it's getting better by the update^^.I like how there's a mixture of colors in the sky and the moon's glow><.Very pretty picture and honored to be able to accept such a drawing(seriously!).Thanks for the great picture, and I'll dedicate my next piece that "I" actually think is worthy of giving to you^^.So basically, it won't be one of my screw-ups like.....(cough,cough).......the stupid eye in the beginner board.....(in defensive mode since he submitted another thing to the beginner board after being threatened not to><).*print screens your drawing*
