OK, how's the chin now? It still doesn't look right to me, is it the jaw that's weird?


Does this jaw line look better?
Bottom one for sure. But there's something wrong with the rest of his face too... the mouth looks off and I'm pretty sure its gonna be tough fixing that... but it does look weird...

Example of a similar expression:


On your drawing, maybe the outline is too dark.. or the line might be too pronounced, specially on the nose, look at this guy's nose, its much simpler and not so protrude.

The "anger" lines on your guy's eyes are also very pronounced and thick which makes it look like hes using camo paint, the eyeshadow is waaaay too much... and there's something weird going on with his eyes... its hard to put into words but I'd say his left eye is too big and too skewed upwards.

Another thing, look at the example I'm showing you, the left eyebrow is actually covering part of the eye. On your picture however, the guy looks more like he's in shock rather than "angry", he's not frowning enough, his eyes are just like "O_O" instead of ">_<" lol... wish I could help more :p

I really like this one and would love to see it finished but his face is really off...

Re: My first attempt (with patience and effort) at a full body drawing...

mouth SO much better, a hint of a grin too which is nice

eyes lost a bit of their "angerness" now... hmm.. maybe because of the grinning?

its much better now though!

good job on the lower lip, that line was weird

Ok, the thing for me is the eyes. With them so wide open, so much white showing, they look more like shock with anger. Maybe narrow them more? I don't know...just the eyes seem to open. If I was going to stab someone, I'd be concentrating and squinching my eyes. LOL

Yeah you're right, the eyes are too wide, they make him look crazy. I haven't changed them though, I can live with that as well as a couple of other flaws I've noticed in this picture >w< Not perfect, maybe another time I'll fix it all:

Re: My first attempt (with patience and effort) at a full body drawing...

There's still something else wrong with the dude, but I can't pin what. Maybe he has his harness on too tight on his body? Or maybe it's the way he's holding his off-handed dagger.

The Orc, however, is nigh perfect, but something gets me about his axe. It's bent, and I'm a little iffy on if Orcs wield Axes like that.

Re: My first attempt (with patience and effort) at a full body drawing...

Yeah I noticed the bent axe too X3 But I'm fed up with this picture and want to move onto the next >_>; I'll probably fix it one day.

I've changed the picture in my previous post, I deleted the outlines on his chest, I think it looks better.

I still say it's because he looks frozen in midair; and not in a good way. It needs to be done in a more sketch style.

Its actually better to move on sometimes instead of becoming frustrated with a single piece, learn from experience and keep doing new stuff that's the way it should be
