Can we say "overshading" boys and girls?

Another quick, crappy coloring job. I should actually, like, draw something in the background once or twice.

Try adjusting the shading on his forehead and nose. The way you shade can leave the impression that his forehead is concafe and his nose is simply two holes for nostrils.

Otherwise the shading is fantastic. The shoulders look solid, and as if they have volume. The lapels are great. And I like the background. Whatever you're doing in those areas, keep doing it, because it's lovely. The hair itself is good, but work on the directions the hair is going. It tends to move in groups more or less circling the head, with a few lost, or dissenting strands.

It's awesome how you can see these things. Most of the time I'm looking at a drawing I did thinking, "That's wrong, but why?" and it really takes someone else pointing it out for me to understand it. Especially with light.

I'm not sure I get what you mean about the hair ... does it make a difference if I told you his hair is supposed to be as psycho as he is? ;D

Once again, thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Holy crap; I see what you mean about the shading, totally. O_o
