Self Portrait

on: November 29, 2005, 11:49:34 am

Ive only really worked on the head.. so dont bother with them.. my face looks kinda fucked up. it used to look a lot worse but faceless helped me fix it up with a few simple solutions... anyways.. it still doesnt look quite right.. i picked a hard perspective..
so if someone can sketch a head in the same position as mine, it would help heaps

and here's a photo of me to compare...:

(Im the far left)
and also, can anyone tell me if my self portrait looks like me? I cant tell  :-\..

edit-
oh, and the colours, if anyone thinks my colours could be better, feel free to recolour and adjust them as you see fit

edit- finished!!

also, heres a cool thing showing my progress.. I didnt save some of the earlier colouring stages... *slaps self*
although now Ive gotta do the background :P

I'm no expert on facial structure, but you may want to try thinning the eyes, bringing the cap down a pixel or two and getting rid of that straightline from the face to the edge of the cap

right now the face is sort of baloon-y and your facial structure is more defined.
oh, and the eyes just look big to me >_>

The proportions on the legs look all wrong from my perspective, but maybe someone with more knowledge can comment on 'em
other than that: the torso, arm, and what you have done so far is rather nice.

I think Ive finished the face

yeah I havent been able to make my mind up on the legs.. I cant tell whats wrong with them.. I think theyre too short.. or that Ive made my left leg's shin too long.. i think if I drop the knee on that leg...

anyways, Ive been worrying about the colours, do you think I made good choices?

edit-
I cant wait to do the hands... :-X

the noise is pointing up to much. and his right eye should be a little ofuscated, and also you should see very little of the face on his right side (maybe no face at all)

the rest is cool!!!
