Charactere : Lovely wind

You may want to soften the shading on the forehead, which makes the forehead looks like it has really sharp edges (this wouldn't be the case if all the shading in the rest of the picture were sharp)

Keep up the good work..

Hi

Somehow I like the first picture better but maybe it's just because in the second image the bg doesn't fit so well...

Good work so far (of course)

I liked the first one better too. However, I think you need to study out your composition a bit better. The background looks like the wrong perspective, but it's hard to tell when its mostly all cropped out and you can't see where she is standing. The thing that bothers me most tho is the shading on her neck and face don't seem right for the lighting in the picture. It looks like you are drawing this from your imagination which is fine but you should learn how to figure where shadows would fall and how to add dimensionality to the figure. It also needs a lot more work on shading/value/contrast. I like the first one's simplicity but it does need a few accentuated details to bring it to life. Nice job on the face drawing, that is a hard angle to draw. I would just make the background more atmospheric and less sharp to give the picture depth and to keep it from looking like a bunch of flat abstract areas of color.

Thanks a lot for this critiques. I have a lot of things to learn !! :)
U re right this shading comme from my imagination .. it's not perfect, perhaps if a try to remake some photograph i could learn more on lighting.
And I will try my best to make this picture more "lifely"
thanks for your comment :D

i sorta like the first one better as well.

the background in the second one is two detailed. it's better to force the viewer to look at the girl's face.

i agree with hesido about the shading in the first one. the shading should be consistant.

i really like the way you did the forehead on the first one. maybe sharpen up the rest of it. if it matches, you've developed a visual vocabulary and style that many artists look for their entire lives.

in another thread there has been a short discussion of realistic proportions vs. the effect of the proportions shown. (like Picasso, where's the realism in that? nowhere, and it's still very very good.)

i guess you should do what you want. do you want realism? if so, i'd suggest doing what you mentioned, look at some pictures, or a real model, and draw until what you have is what you actually see. there is a special beauty in that.

if you're not super worried about realism, focus on the other ways to create an image or and emotion and have fun! there's another sort of beauty in that.
