hey David thanks for the feedback, i agree about the eyes. I made some changes to the head, eyes, ears, eyebrows and mouth. hope i’m getting somewhere with this 
Battle812, i’m glad you liked my oil painting, i do too think that fruit is to green compared to the other ones, but that’s actually how it looked so i had to paint it that way
Hi Gabriel:)
Nice job so far on this bust that you are working on…
On the eye lids…Don’t forget to have the upper eyelid protrude out further than the lower eyelid…In the profile shot,…there should be a 45 degree angle between the upper and lower eye lids .
The highest point of the curve of the upper lid is close to the inside corner of the eye, aproximately one third of an eye-width away.
The low point of the lower lid is one third of an eye-width from the outside corner.
These points, joined with a line, show the oblique axis of the eye.
THE EYE OPENING IS NOT A SYMMETRICAL ALMOND SHAPE…
There are clear examples and explanations of all of these very very important angles that happen in the human face and head, in the book that I mentioned to you earlier…DRAWING THE HUMAN HEAD by BURNE HOGARTH…
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this bust that you have started…
TAKE CARE
Glenn
Listen to SpiritDreamer, he seems to know what he’s talking about (more than me anyway ;)).
Wish you plenty of fun with your camping trip!
Hey Glenn, you always point out valuable information thanks a lot. I haven’t been able to get hold of that book yet. I’m trying to observe and learn from other sources for now. I hope the eyes look better now, i’ve tried to follow what you said about them and i guess it all makes sense as i have been observing other people’s eyes.
David, thanks i’m listening to what Glenn has to say, but i appreciate and value your comments very much.
i have reworked the eyes area, i have also increased the eyeballs size.
ok, i so after some time of being abscent i hope i can get back to posting. This one is a female head i did, following that male bust study. I was able to build this one from scratch in just a few hours opposed to days i took with the other one. Plus i think that i have achieved a better result (except for the ears i don’t like them).
I’ll be back to posting oil paintings and digitals soon
ok, long time no updates. i was doing some quick colors studies so i’ll post this one here. not anatomy related but i promise i’ll be updating this thing here regularly again
thanks i’m glad you appreciate xsiyou my work
i feel like posting this new oil painting, i just finished it i guess. but it’s still wet and as i couldn’t bring it home to take a decent picture of it, but i was so excited that was done that i took it a picture with my crappy cellphone camera, sorry about the poor picture. it took me a long time to work it out, but overall i’m happy with it. hard task acomplished, time to move to a new one.
Hey Gabriel, keep 'em coming, those studies are great! Each time you post, I feel like kicking myself until I find the time to start posting my stuff again, haha.
thanks David, i need to post more often too. but you must be doing great stuff i take it and you are probably busy. By the way congratulations again on your short movie, some student at this animation class im taking was showing it as reference of good short animated movies 
some oild painting colors studies, im going for some studies before i feel confident to paint a full face on oils
thanks Mu, i still have some steps to go before i take a full head portrait. I have done some more studies on that same canvas (some i liked, some not that much. but overall i’m learning).
My next canvas will keep on going like this but i’ll take bigger head portions at a time. And on the next canvas i’ll go for a protrait.
These are AWESOME studies man.
Really liking the different skintones.
I agree with Mu 
You know, your first full oil portrait… you will always look at it knowing it was your first afterwards, so you’re gonna end up disliking it anyway (probably). Try to make it with the same attitude you are doing the facial feature studies above.
I’m saying this because I feel you may be building up expectations by postponing it. If so, you will probably end up disappointed.
So throw away that fear for failure and do it!
Hey Gabriel, really cool stuff with oil.
You gotta some really strong skills.
Keep rocking man!!
NR43, thanks man, i’m really happy to hear you like my paintings. I’m working hard on oils, and i hope to be awesome one day, i’m not quite there yet I’ll be following my master’s advice on this though, and stick with some more studies before i go to a full portrait.
Glauco, hey buddy glad that you dropped a line around here, you’re work is becoming excellent man keep on rocking you too. and thanks for the compliments
I’m spending the afternoon at the atelier tomorrow so i hope to be able to post another picture of my next study here tomorrow or the day after.
hei maozao! Loved your studies, you’re doing it pretty well.
Where are the new ones?! =)))
