Tygerson: Thank you! Especially for the feedback for Jasnah. Adding Jewelry is a good idea, I'll do that :)
pnate: Thank you :) Good idea to zoom in just a little more, I've tried that.
JJ Aaron: Thanks!
Update on Jasnah: I zoomed in a bit closer (not sure if that works with the elbow cut off?), and changed the hand to something more casual, which I think looks better. I suddenly wonder if her torso is too long though...
Study
- do not make (male) faces too broad
- do not place the eyes too far apart - this also helps with the "face too broad" problem
- men have beautiful lips, too
- place eyebrows lower on men
Application
Don't ask
Next portrait: Kaladin. Having a bit of trouble seeing him clearly, as I normally don't imagine characters visually, but emotionally. Trying to go for "half-Hawaiian, half-Asian, which is kind of common in Hawaii" with a soldier's physique, but raggy (Aragorn like :P) and depressed.
