something is a little weird to me... help?
 

Hello people I drew a head shot, but I can't really tell why it looks a bit off, some help for me please?

xD For starters, the person needs hair.

But besides that, the eyes look a little off to me.

I think if you resized it, people could look at it easier. XD

first..e..the right cheek of the person is different fro m the left..u drawing from reference?

Jesmond 12-09-2007 10:59 PM

From general knowledge, the eyes look too big and the ears too small, as well as a bit too high up. The lips also look kind of flat. But yes, are you using a reference?

kimu 12-09-2007 10:59 PM

I think its the eyes, they seem a little too wide for the face, and little off to each other, like crooked.

And, hi Demari : )

AANNNDD, the ears seem small, or like they are bend back [ Are they supposed to look like that? ] since you are drawing in front, they have to be in front too.

And and and and....and.And. I think you should make the image into a link, streching the page and all, at this rate a moderator will change it to a link by themselves : S Kuu, or something like that.

Seems to me above the eyes doesn't match below the eyes because you draw his mouth tight and brought in with very defining demples when in the top of his head looks like the head of an older character a more relaxed character. So the top looks relaxed and loose when the bottom looks like a face of a puppet. The 2 just won't match and won't look goodf together. Maybe adding hair or a hat would've made the 2 match. ^.^

here's some sites that could help you with getting everything to look right (or in proportion, which seems to be the problem)

Drawing the Face
original page with a few more links

this was from my art one class back in my freshman year XD
so hard to think that I learned this stuff four years ago o.o;
it really helps once you have it memorized and practice a lot ^w^

The eyes and ears are too high up.
Also, the left eye and eyebrow are higher than the right eye and eyebrow.

The head is slightly tilted, so everything on the face needs to be tilted in the same direction. It's not a huge tilt, but it's still there I guess.

Livia 12-10-2007 04:01 AM

For the start you scare the hell out of me with that enormous draw. o.o

Something weird in there.. probably must be the ears.... they are tooo small... the chin some what makes me view that one of the size is bigger or something x.x

The eyes one is bigger then the other.

And he needs hair xD

But I still think that you made a good job on that draw! You do better then me :O

Avvy 12-10-2007 04:38 AM

Hair would help make the picture look more complete. The eyes are too big. The space between two eyes equals the length of one eye.

Demari 12-10-2007 04:51 AM

woot
 

Thanks everyone, no the pic isn't from a reference, yeah it does need some hair, I got really bored yesterday night and couldn't get to sleep, so its a pic I drew in the dark half asleep, I just didn't think it looked right to me, I did it all in pen, and when I usually do portraits I get the face to look right, I just thought this one looked a bit akward to me, I resized it, don't know if I did it enough though, and thankyou for the links to help me out.

fuyumi_saito 12-10-2007 05:29 AM

If it's male then you should make the neck thicker. The neck starts right below the ears.

[.Lorana.] 12-10-2007 06:13 AM

Just a suggestion but maybe you should scrap that for now. (since it looks like you did it with a pen) Start of with drawing the basic sorta oval shape of the head with pencil then draw a line through where the eyes should be then one directly though the middle of the oval shape. (up and down) I know it seems mundane but it'll help you figure out the correct portions of everything. (since the lines are guidelines.) Not trying to be harsh or anything you have a good start with the picture you drew already. ^^

*edit*

Looking at it a little more you have the shape of the head correct... Just the nose and all the other features did a swerve. Although for it being in the dark you did a good job. Kudos for that. ^^

I'd help, but I think most of what I'd say has been said. What's wrong with bald though?
Huzzah for drawers of darkness!
