Handsome Korean's Sketchbook

darktisteNice paint first of all but i want to share an observation for you to improve your perception of detail.

The hair flow doesn't look to natural i am not a strong candidat to explain it but the weight of those strand of hair just wrap to much against gravity. It almost like you took reference from 2 picture but didn't really made sense of it.Because it create the pattern of hair you would see if she her hair in some kind of poney tail behind her head where there clearly is no poney tail to be found.Also this would be possible to have something similar to what you envisonned but this would probably require some kind of fixative which my alterate the look of the hair to know more shiny or wet .I think your hair mass as to much volume to behave in the manner you portrait it to be believable it not sticking to the head which mean it doesn't have gel in and i doubt fixative can really do much for hair with that much weight.Note also that her hair are slightly shorter compare to the example i provide to illustrate my obeservation they are going down her shoulder in my example will you have hair that fall on her back in your picture.

I think the only plausible solution would be if she had some kind of clip to hold the hair in place and i think it would make for a nice decorative element.

I still hope this was useful in a way.

appreciate the valuable feedback. already paying more attention to how hair flows more when im doing portriats now
