Pixel Joint Forum: Profile view portrait

Message

   Hello ^^ 

This is my first post here and I'm looking for some critique on this portait-ish pixel. I'm most concerned about the ear (position and size), which I would really like to have fixed, before moving on to doing the rest of the hair. But really, any suggestions and critiques are highly appreciated :)

	the ear is definitely too small. i also think the top of the cranium could be larger i'd just compare the anatomy to googled references

	I've tried redoing the ear and moving the hair up a bit. Better? Edited by Meyana - 08 April 2010 at 11:10am

	Ugh, trying to wrack my brains to remember the proper anatomy, but i know ears come down to about the same level as the mouth, so it needs to be bigger still. face is lookin pretty awesome though :D

	I've made the ear bigger (and hopefully better :)) and redone a lot of the shading on the face. Still need to redo the neck and lips, which look totally misplaced now.

	the ear is still too small... i think she looks a bit flat and also a bit lifeless... the lips are very thin and give her a kind of rigid expression... shading on the chin needs some work.. hair lacks volume here.... an edit

	Finally had some time to work at this again :) I tried to tweak the colour of the skin and I think it looks way better. Thanks for the edit :) I still don't know what to do about the lips .. Whatever I do they turn out looking worse.. After changing the skintone the haircolour looked way off, so I changed it to a dark-brown. Also, I tried making the ear a bit bigger.
