Ysoft you are getting better I'll say that. I think the drawing would look better if the hair was more well placed. The fact that everything isn't just line tool makes me feel much better.

Are you CRAZY Battle? What does his using the line tool or not have to do with making a good piece of art? If he hadn't looked at the screen, and had just sat on his keyboard, and taken a screenshot of the resulting chaos, would that make you feel thrice as good?

Giz you should KNOW I'm insane hombre.

Anystep in the right direction counts as better in the BBB (battblazebook).

Well here is my latest face I drew.
I know I got the anatomy right to a certain degree, but tell me what you think?

Battle, if you have enough skill I don't think it matters what tool you use, be it line or a pencil. I can coordinate line tool better then a pencil tool, thats why I use it. True it takes twice or more times as much time to get the right curve with a line tool, but thats ok I guess.

Straight lines don't work too well on natual things and animals. I really would strongly recommend the pencil tool.

The proportions are a little better, but they're still off. Shrink down the jaw line, eyes, and ears a bit. Imagine how he would wear glasses when aligning the ears.

Edit: Notice the size of the jaw line in my avatar and compare it to the size of the mouth in comparison hehe.

So the rock and the caligraphy brush are one in the same.

Whoa, whoa, the chin line's better, yeah, but why'd you move the ears down? They were fine where they were -- a couple of pixels high if anything. With the ears in that position, it also looks like he's bald on the sides of his head.

So, here's something you might try, even if your hand drawing sucks as you claim. Draw kind of an oval with about the same aspect ratio as an egg. Draw a line about halfway down it. That's the eye line. Draw a line halfway down from there. That's where the bottom of the nose should go. Draw a line halfway down from there. That's where the mouth goes. As for the ears, on a normal person, the eyes will be just above the earlobes. Try putting your fingers to the sides of your eyes and pulling them back until they touch your ears.

Hope that helps someone. I'm done here.

Just be careful about the oval so you aren't staring at the top of his head.

now let's work on the proportion of those eyes. they're way too huge, and much too scary for a normal person. i think, though, that if you take away that bottom line, they'll look a bit better. it adds nothing, and basically just looks like eye liner.

here is how the eyes look without the bottom liner.

I will probably post the last mod for Legota after I redo the eyes completely.
