Alex Danila's Sketchbook

A fellow Romanian. Cool!

I say you're doing pretty good. What you need to work on right now is construction. I see some symmetry problems, eyes or nostrils don't line up on the same axis and stuff like that. I also see you posted some construction sketches, so I guess you just have to keep practicing

As an exercise you should try some Asaro heads, or even drawing symmetrical objects. Learning some box construction in perspective, so get into a little bit of a technical approach if you will, because if you learn how to draw a box at any angle, you can then put the human head in a box and draw it at any angle.

And another thing you should try is flipping the image, or looking at your drawings through a mirror so you see them horizontally reversed. You'll instantly spot mistakes. Like the portrait on post #11, the one Lussios likes, try to draw the vertical axis on the middle of her face, through the tip of her nose and see that the lips don't really align properly.
When you did the construction it seems you were aware of the axis and placed the lips in a correct position (almost, lips still seem a little bit too long on the left) but when you rendered you lost the construction, so be careful to always have those axis in your mind no matter what stage you're on.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I will try to practice more from asaro's head. I wonder if i can find it in stores in Romania. I will practice more on the head, but not right now, this coming month i plan on starting to learn a little about the torso.

Also, here is another wip from the GoT Fanart
