mmmm, its alright the anatomy and correctness of the structure of the face is reallly off which throws off the piece. the side of the head is at a view of 45 straight on, while the front of the head is tilted downwards. so the 2 perspectives dont match up causing an oddity there. I think the brow line is too low, and the cheek on the left does not give any form to the head like the right one does. the nose seems flat, and same with the ear. its not bad, but there are a few areas that you can improve with the head to make it look more natural
the wire out of the head does bug me though. It is too jagged - the whole curve of it should be more fluid instead of a blocky turn. even if each of those sections overlap and are separate joint pieces, it can still be a smooth curve the backend of it should be slightly narrower because it is farther from the viewer then the front of it. the joint into the head is boring and plain - spice it up abit. make it interesting with alittle more connection pieces, instead ofjust a slide in jack type wire
whether you were intending to draw an interesting android ish piece, make a statement about how people nowadays are developed the same and lacking uniqueness due to being taught the same morals values and getting similar expieriemces and symbolize it by the wire, or simply from a random sketch, the wire/cable seems more to be like a horn then a wire into the head.. perhaps run a few thin ones out of the back of the head and up to help uniform the picture better and to help make the connection about a wire faster
just some thoughts does look good though, dont get me wrong
Maybe I'm spoiled by having seen so many awesome pieces from you. This I'm not crazy about. The dithering style could be more interesting. The color palette does not quite relate the story well. They are too red based. This is a cool piece with introspective qualities, this red based brown palette is a poor choice. Maybe green based browns would be better? The brown mat on the border is too thin. This kills the weight of the piece. This calls for heavy/thick mat/border. The last thing is the canvas size which you have chosen to be square. This is the worst part for me. Its too balanced for such a vaque subject. Here I think a vertical canvas with white space (brown in this case, lol) would better convey the sense of detachment it seems the subject matter deals with.
@manxana, PM me if you need a Spanish translation.
@all, I love manxana's work and consider myself a fan.
