Joseph i really agree, yes, painting old and people with a lot of character is important as a skill; I just see Peter a lot drawing young people, who I just know theyre much more attractive than hes depicted them. I think alot of the time his execution is good in many regards dont get me wrong. He has a few in here that are of people who arent very attractive people, but he got their proportions just right and they came off very charming.
No, it doesnt have to be sexy or whatever, I think for Peter specifically, if he focused on that, and good execution, itd help his work alot. You could draw very hideous characters like Max Verehin, and because the shapes are designed well it looks charming. Of course, verehin can also draw very attractive sexy characters so he isnt limited to that; and posessing that skill will feed into the other.
I think if peter concentrated on the most obvious thing which is just making someone handsome or beautiful, he could then go on to know how to make older or more "character" type portraits more charming. In all the portrait or commission ive done its a huge factor is just the person wanting to feel or look handsome or beautiful, even if they're ugly (and most folks are kinda ugly;) So its an invaluable tool.
Alot of the times he's really close, but it drifts off, OR he doesnt edit the line drawing as he goes along. With this swordsman, he's really close on the blue drawing, but it drifts off and hes not aware of how he's losing those valuable shapes. And its hard as fuck i know, maintaining an attractive drawing through rendering; I'm getting angry so im just gonna go do something else lol
