First of all. I think I went way overboard with this edit:



But, anyway, what you should know is:

  • yours had 25 colours, my edit has 4; you should try minimising colours, you don't have to go use 4 colours like I did. But having less colours is easier to manage and it's just generally good practice to conserve colours.
  • your throat and chin area are a bit pillow shaded.
  • you need to clean up your lines, they are extremely sloppy.
  • I still think you're having trouble with colours, keep practicing it will come with practice.
  • I understand that you were trying to have a crazy looking face, but there are some parts of the anatomy I really couldn't understand.
  • The black outlines aren't necessary, they really detract from the image, especially the inner black lines.

yeah i dont believe anatomy matters in my opinion the lines are meant to look 'sloppy' but more rushed.

i know i do go over board wigh colors but im gettin there

orite ikve decided 2 srap doing AA (beyond my knowledge) and stick to what i know now i redid the whole thing (except outline) and i did a palette and got 13 colors, less? more? (colors i mean)



and im not quite sure what pillow shading is i thaught i would just figure out what it is but nup hasnt rung a bell (yep all those time jalonso)

justa not clog up the forum ill shove another wip in here
its 20 colors(hold on just wait) but there are 3 colors for each segment not including outline and there are 5 segments


is it my fault that im a colorful man?? well help on lowering colors on that will be thanked

They are very distorted. But, if you like it that way, i guess it doesn't matter.

Well I think the scared face is not the problem, you should really try to refine the lines!

i believe that there is a thin line between an intentional distorion for esthetical purposes and a rushed doodle. even when most of your drawings are distorted they maintain a shape, like your current avatar, like the face you made in your sig. this one went over the limit. it is a rushed doodle with minor tweaks in the shading.

i'm not messing with the above mentioned style of yours, yet I believe that, even a distorted and wicked style of yours needs to have a limit to not abuse this license you'r drawings have got.

i hope i was clear enought
