Mika Nakashima still life drawing

[chien]

had some time to rework the still life again, fix some anotomical problems with the distance of the eyes and nose as well as lips, and further working on her eyebrows and emotion which was real tough.


here are the images for mika 2 :

I worked on her lips of a slight smile, was hard to get, I'll still be working on that, in the meantime, I welcome any comment & critiques from anyone that can help me improve this still life, anything at all really.

wont be inclusing any lighting or details yet, seeing it's still a wip, I would be very gratefull to get feedback from anyone about her portrait, please feel free to critique.

Much improved over your original sketches. Glad to see you stopped trying to outline the whole of her nose. Some very minor crits:

-Eyebrows are too heavy
-Not sure if it's all shadow or eyeliner, but for her right eye both corners show lots of black.
-Since the POV is from below her face, her lower lip will obscure her upper lip a bit. Light source is above so lower lip will get brightest highlight. It's fine in your line sketch but just keep it in mind when shading.
-Her neck is actually wider than that but some disappears in the shadows. This won't matter if you're shading but if you leave it as linework it will look odd.

Keep it up. This is looking really nice.
