I would rather not change the mouth but cut off some of her left cheek.
In my eyes, the problem seems to look like trying to draw the meaning rather than what is visible.
I mean, the side of the cheek exists and you are trying to draw it, but really it is not visible from this angle.

Sorry, but no. That looks really weird. If the eyes are too high, they are not that much too high. 1 or 2 pixels perhaps, but what you did looks really weird to me, Sohei.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

I agree that the eyes are a bit high; but I do find sohei's edit less attractive personally.
What could be done is to simply increase the size of the head wrap as opposed to a lengthening of her entire cranium.

From AlcopopStar's latest post, with removal of the part of the cheek that should in my opinion be not visible because it should be curved away from the viewer.

The face proportions are slightly off, from the bottom of the chin to the bottom of the nose should be about 1/3 of the face (not the head mind you). So too is the region from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose and from the eyebrows to the hairline also 1/3 each. Also I would do away with the majority of those lines, simplify a bit. Here's an edit to illustrate:

Also noticed that the higlight for the eyes was in the centre of the eye, moved it to top right. Hope it helps  :y:

Thanks for all the responses guys.

I've made all the changes I feel necessary to the peasant women. There were a few edits that were proportionally more correct but I felt lost a bit of the images charm. I went for the middle ground I felt comfortable with and had time for.



Beyond this I have started work on a third portrait, the necromancer. I originally started with a somewhat sever look but was later asked to give her a bit of a sweeter disposition.
