![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hiLBU.jpg) This was based on a picture I took of White-Ra for TL during Dreamhack, and was a big challenge. I was also thinking, I usually paint, either digitally or with acrylics, would TL prefer streaming painting or Youtube videos after? Will be making the sort of things I've blogged previously    | ||

try to make it "cleaner", maybe by using finer lines or using a rubber to smudge the lines. Also, the eyebrowns could be darker. That would be my guess, not like im an artist or something :D like this, he looks a bit like he just got rescued from a burning car and lost his wife or something :/ | ||

Right now there's not any real distinction between your lights and your middle tones. Either hit the darks way harder or incorporate some white pastel in for those highlights and leave the paper to act as your mid tone. As you've seen in Gliders pictures, he reworks his pieces to get that next level of finish and detail on his work. Good stuff, you're going in the right direction. I think this is common with a lot of my stuff, I'm self-taught so I rarely work to the level of pros, definitely working on this. I think it's the reason iamperfection sees a problem on his left-side, I wasn't clear enough with the shading on that jaw. Only have a HB pencil, thinking of investing in some charcoal to be able to smudge and that, has been a lot of fun to experiment! Thanks for the advice guys! | ||

Becareful of the tendency to subconsciously straighten things out when you draw. Feels like certain parts are tilting one way (ear-to-ear, jaw, neck tilt) while the center features are being forced to align(looking head on). I have problems with this too esp with people whose features angle up and down, its easy to confuse the angles. Also the way the chin goes into the jaw on his right ( the dark side) seems like its missing some volume or something. | ||

 3FFA I'm talking about the shaded side, which has problems because the shading was awkward due to a rim-light sort of lighting condition that I didn't render too well Thanks GreatFall ironchef yeah White-Ra was tilting his head, which introduced a few challenges I found really interesting to try and tackle | ||
