Took a bit of a chill break for a week. Appreciate the comments everyone.
BjorkJT Hey, I appreciate the paint-over thing but I would have hoped for something more. The image is obviously stylised and in a case like that, critiquing something like the size of the head has to be done on aesthetic grounds. In yours, the proportions are still extremely off if we want to be realistic so if there should be a change in proportions, you would have to make either a consistency argument (that the approach to stylisation needs to be applied more consistently throughout the image) or an aesthetic argument for why a different stylisation would be appropriate. The same for the rendering. You've broken stylistic consistency without an argument for it. If you don't give these kinds of arguments, it all just ends up being a "this is what I would have done" and it does not seek to build upon the foundation that the original work has established.
I gave Jonas Jerde a critique in my paint-over thread that was all about stylistic aesthetics where a full argument was made for the change in his work. You can see it here http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-7832.html I'd consider this illustrative of what I'd look for in a critique or a paintover. I'd encourage you that if you are to make paintovers and critiques of people's work, you take it seriously and use it as a basis for discussion on artistic principals :)
Anyway. Working on this illustration thing. Been scribbling around with different ideas to try and find something I like. Also I've been messing a lot with different pressure sensitivity settings on my tablet. Not really sure what to go with...
PS. here's one of my pencil drawings from the first trimester. Found this image so I thought I'd post it. It was taken like a week before I finished the drawing so it's a little patchy but you get the idea ;)
