Title: C&C "Digital Painting" of a character
Post by: The Suitor on Thu 06/09/2007 22:16:53
I'm slightly new here.  I'm mainly a writer, but  I've been making adventure games under cover.  I "painted" this to visualize one of my characters. Critique it as much as you like.

You should look into how do draw proportionate faces. You can exaggerate it to make it caricaturized, but still follow basic rules of proportions.

Here's a quick example I drew in Paint: (sorry, I'm not much of an artist)

As Gregjazz said; you should check out some books and study how to draw a face. It will help you more on the long run.
I tried to do a quick overpaint of your drawing.

This shows you the changes I made:

I'm no expert myself when it comes to draw humans, so I'm aware that there may be flaws in it. But hopefully you can use it as a guideline or something  ;)
