Portrait sketch.

[What a loser.]

Can you do portraits for my game?! Haha, those pictures are just amazing. I wish I could draw people as good as backgrounds. Thats really quality stuff, love it!

Are we ever going to see a female? Try steping away from the shaggy haired emos.

Hehe, thanks for the kind comments.
Oliver: well of course he's sad, he's a hobo!
And Evil, I shall work on a female soon, then... But don't expect her to be any less emo.

Well, just as I promised:

(Yes, I did get quite lazy and covered half of her face with hair... It's almost 6 AM!)

This was a fairly quick one, done in my math notebook after studying for an exam I have in three hours... Gah.

It's the first non-digital drawing I did in a while.
Sure feels nice to draw on paper again.

scary....that looks like an old women in teenage clothes

[Chicky]

I think the nose lets that picture down. It seems rather... manly.

Some modifications:



Some things making her look old:

I) Long face

II) Pointy chin

III) Lack of eyelids

IV) Random lines in the face giving the impression of wrinkles. The smoother the face, the younger

-

Some other things:

I) Her ear is set very low for the headtilt.

II) Her eyes looks odd due to the linethickness of the lower line. The upper line is usually much heavier due to more eyelashes, shadows from eyelashes/eyelid, eyelid and eyelashes blending.

III) Make sure you make the iris round and the pupil centered. The eyes are the most important facial features to get right since we tend to focus on them and any oddities will be noticed immediately.

IV) I'd avoid small, seemingly random lines in the face. They tend to just make the pic messy and distort the face unless carefully applied.

General thing:

Pretty much all heads in this thread have perspective/shape issues. The best way to counter this imo is to do a proper headcontstruction a la Loomis. This will steadily increase your mass understanding which won't only aid you in drawing heads but any objects. The head is a complicated shape and if you master it you should be able to draw any shape properly.

The better understanding you acquire the less you have to lean on these constructions, so if they bore you, think of it as a step that you'll gradually get past.

In any case, it's looking better n better, hope you keep posting these.
