Rotten's Pocket

[Leo Ki]

When I grow up I want to draw hair as you do. Then I'll aim for the feathers, a century later.
Get better soon and keep creating!

Sorry to hear about the illness Rotten; hope you're feeling better. The original version of this piece was already pretty good, but your new version is definitely an improvement. The face in particular is more beautiful and naturalistic.

I hope you feel better soon. Chronic illness is hell.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I love your food and botanical illustrations! And your patience with all that hair and feathers is impressive. Amazingly detailed work!

Just to make myself useful — and please don't take it as something you got to fix in your latest piece as it's very advanced already, but as something to keep an eye in future artworks — there are some minor placement issues that are flattening her image.

Her torso is too flat, which in my book is way better than a too cylindrical of a torso, but can easily lead to placing shoulders too far to the sides, outside their sockets. Her left shoulder which should be slightly occluded by her body is the most noticeable. It's taking her entire torso out of alignment with her neck and head. This can be avoided by drawing circles for the sockets so you can better guess where the back would connect with them, resulting in something more like this:





Also, keep an eye out for where the sternocleidomastoid ends. It not only nests between the clavicles but more or less grabs the underside of them.




Depending on the pose, in women it often looks like thin tendon-like structures converging to between the head of the clavicles. When they're visible sometimes the hollow between them is higher and gentler, when it's deep it'll sit lower than the top of the clavicles.

That's alright, it's what this place is for. I tried to incorporate changes it regardless. I'm still out of it, back at work which has its own set of challenges [trying to refrain from venting about it] and have continued to chip away. I promise to come back and give everyone some attention but I may take a break for a bit. I'm so tired.

amazing work! lots of detail in wings and hair. for next step I would suggest to focus on hands/arms as they are a bit out of perspective.
but first of all, hope you have a good break.

[dimensional-knight]

Great work! But please do take a break, rest all you need. I hope you're feeling better when you return.

[JosephCow]

Dang, that looks sick dude! The detail of the hair is kind of unbelievable.

Looking cool as usual!!
