I would consider working with this portrait and developing the details, particularly the eyes. Not to sound corny, but make me believe there is skull under that flesh. Make me believe that eye is covered with eyelids. Just think of how the flesh sits on the skull. I think you could develop the neck muscles. All in all, this is a great improvement and I think if you tackle this piece one more time I can color it.
I think it's better, the lines give the face more depth. I kinda played around with your drawing (sorry) to show you what I was thinking when considering the skull as seen in this link:
1) Is your original drawing.
2) Is my attempt at drawing a skull under your drawing.
3) Changes I would have made to your drawing to give it more form.
I didn't spend a whole lot of time on that, I just wanted to show you what I was talking about. I hope it helps, I think I can work with what we have here but if you want to make anymore changes, please do.
Aaawwww wow that is so cool on what you did!!! I didn't even think about that!!! Ok i'll fix it up then!! ... sorry about you haveing to do that to show me what to do though.... >.> I feel so childish!!! ^_~
I'm a visual person and this was a visual problem, I think drawing my solution out was the best route for both of us. Childish? Not even, I'm just giving you tips that have helped me in the past. I'm just throwing some ideas your way. I think this portrait is going to rock.
Wow, you almost copied my suggestions line for line, sweet. You didn't have to do that, they were just guides but it did help. This will be fun to color/paint, thanks Menyway.
