I went back and actually sketched the initial positions. I thought I could do it all using values without any initial sketch but that definitely wasn't working so what about now? Did I finally get the position right?
i skewed a few things here and there and moved some stuff, i think this should be better
I keep trying to fix things, I've even redone the initial sketch but I just can't get things to look fine. Every time I go back to fix something I just fuck it up more. Some help would truly be appreciated.
I think I'm finally getting somewhere, any comments?
Also, here's a little bit of refining study I just finished. I wasn't really worrying much about proportions/anatomy, it was all just about trying to get the features to blend properly and all that.
try looking often at picture flipped horizontally, it allows you to see mistakes very easily
also i made this sketch, compare it to yours :
Thank you so much for that, that helps me see the features a lot better. Thank you. I would do a nice and proper sketch but I'm trying to work with values rather than with actual lines, just so I can understand shading a little better. It's hella difficult but it pays off in the end. By the way I did a little more work on the positioning and proportion, still a long way off, but I think I'm finally getting somewhere.
Now he looks like he smoked some weeeeed
Jajajaja, I just need those lines there to indicate the eyes, give me a second mate
Aw, I like it the way it is now
Gone and done some more work on that little self portrait
And yes, I love me some gifs:
Here's a little bit of freelance work I just finished.
Doing a little more work on the self portrait, am I going in the right direction?
And a Raichu in a pear tree.

Actually, the facial features among other things could be much better, but this time you managed to get the right expression from his face
so try (again) comparing this to mine, to find the differences we had in relation with the picture, but try not to change his expression cause he has the good look atm
Thanks mate, doing a little more work on it.
