Kcilc's edit was just too yummy to pass up, so I edited that edit myself, at least with making the nose bigger, the mouth fuller, the hair similar. This too was simply out of my own pleasure, but perhaps you can learn something further. Here:



I basically agree with everything he says. You certainly need to follow reference. Reference helps in many things.

and I don't think your main skin colour choice was /bad/, per se, but the colours didn't compliment one another very well.

EDIT: Also, 69 posts. -immature-

... what happened to his shirt? He looked better with the other one fix it fix it fiiiiiix.

Hey you. You there.
I like you. :'D

If all RPGs had dem good looking boys, I'd consider myself an official paedophile, lul.
All in all, I love your colour sense. I love your style. your boys look like they got a story to tell.

All this talk about masculinity.
Sure, your men are good-looking. However, even dem good-looking men have some angles.

Here, look at the ear, the nose, the mouth, the neck, the eyes, the face. I tried to add some angles, refine some things, without running out of its integrity.
goddamn it I love that mouth.

  o-my~

all aesthetic admiration aside, I have a couple of critiques.

- your nose isn't as symmetrical in the picture as it is here.
- your hair is much lighter, almost at skin tone on the sides, and the same holds true for your eyebrows. I'd love to see that implemented.
- nitpickery - your ears are a tiniest bit more pointed.
- I DEMAND to see more light in the eyes and more pink in the mouth. 

I also agree with the shading beneath the nose. right now it hints a mustache.
... unless that was what you were going for, lols. I think it would look better if it was more in plane with the rest of the face.
