the eye is very good

its a great start!! and the eye is very beautiful great job maybe you should give her more shape her eyes are really small compared to the rest of her btu i really like it and i think you made her very pretty the end of her eyebrow a couple of spaces away from that her head should end but im sure you were getting to that but i was just trying to help you out if you didtn kno no one ever helps me so yeah :p

And the nose looks too large.

Her nose happens to be large and the eye was going to be lowered, but I had to go to class. I'm gonna fix everything - most of this is just to find the proportions for myself. I just don't have time to sit at the computer for long periods of time, so I have to do little increments. But thanks for your comments. They help me realize that I'm not the only one who thinks it looks weird. ;)

the left eye looks sad and the right eye looks happy...is it like that in the ref. picture if there is one? I didn't notice it till I saw it a few times...beautiful picture though. I envy you. I have trouble with the color getting the translucentcy right is hard.

Out of place? What do you mean?

I think the skin tones and eye color are beautiful, and you did a wonderful job on the lips, especially.

Thank you so much, DBA ^.^

Excellent stuff. I love the eyes, terrific details. The subtle skintones on the nose and lips are spot on.

Love it :D

Ugly? I think she's beautiful, whoever she is. You did a lovely job on the eyes, especially.

Thank you so much ^.^

this is a lot better then i thought it would turn out i think its really good and you did a great job !!! :D keep ti up cant wait to see more!!

Thanks, Jessi - that's very sweet of you to say that. :)

Looks kind of like Jerry Ryan to me...I think it is a beautiful picture.
I think the eye on the left is a different shape than the one on the right...thats why they look funny to me. The one looks all open and the other is sort of squishy...I can't really talk though I have trouble doing to eyes that match! Maybe mine are mismatched and thats why I have trouble...?

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. :)
