[Drawing] Torn Head

[Sneakylemons]

This was actually my first attempt at drawing a realistic human face. To be honest, I didn't feel like drawing a body, so I was like "You know what? **** it. He's just gonna be a floating head."

I plan to shade it in soon, which will be updated in this post when completed, just felt like posting the non-shaded version first. At this point I'm not really worried about the current lighting and stuff, because if I notice anything odd, I will change it while shading. Tell me what you think of it, though.

His left ear could use some work

Was that supposed to be a joke because half of it is ripped off? Or were you being serious? I can't tell, haha.

His left ear is technically the one on the right, which basically just looks like a hot dog strapped to his face, haha.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I fixed it. Not gonna re-scan it, but I drew the lines on the inside of it to make it look real.

If realism is what you were aiming for, you messed up with the proportions quite heavily. The actual shape is too short, the face looks more like the shape of an egg. Right now, it looks really odd because his forehead is way too short and when his eyes are so unrealistically big, it looks even weirder.

I'll quote a website that I found on the subject of proportions:
First, the image to go along.

Before you do that, draw a grid of squares; 3 squares for the height of the egg and 2 squares for the width.

With these 6 squares we have divided the human face to it's most characteristic parts and we even have a vertical symmetry line through the center of our face drawing.

1. The hair line is 2/3 up from the brow line;
2. The brows and the top of the ears are on the same line (in many cases).
3. The nose base and the ear lobs are also at the same level.

Except for the proportions, the concept is pretty nice and it'll probably be quite cool once you shade it. Good work

That head looks weird too Reflection Also, realism in drawings is overrated. Go for the artgem style! Artgerm's deviantART Gallery

I agree the forehead is a bit small, I'll raise the top of the head when I get home (Keeping the brain where it's at, going to raise the top and put in an exposed part of the skull up there to make it look better).

The more I look at it, the more I hate how the eyes look. Usually I draw really nice eyes. It's pissing me off haha. Kind of want to re-do them. Also don't want to **** it up, though, since it isn't really lightly drawn.

The eyes are fine bro, its the eyebrow outline and the lips that kind of throw it off for me. The cupids bow is a bit too deep and its counter-part kind of bends up too high. But those are just my thoughts

[Sneakylemons]

Looking back at it, this whole thing was just a piece of shit haha. Not working on it anymore. Working on Baraka at the moment, and working on a background for Sub Zero

[thefallen1one]

I don't think it's a piece of dung, I just think you should put a teeny weeny bit more work into it. By the way baraka is amazing, please post it when your done! Drawing or computer?

[Sneakylemons]

Drawing. This is where I'm at with him right now. I'll post it when I'm done, but I'm not putting too much effort into him as of now, what is done is done. Going to complete the chest area and move on. Got two drawing books that I am going to go through starting tonight/tomorrow.

[thefallen1one]

That is sick bro, mad sick. I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm stoked for you to finish, Baraka is awesome.
