WIP Critique Major, Black Watch

[housecarl]

Started this Debra Raymond bust. I think the photos are better after a small tutorial from Gothicgeek yesterday (thanks Mark). Having looked at the photos I think the shadow under the eyes is too dark, and a lot more blending to do. Also the eyes need a bit of treatment.
Still very early days,
Carl.

Flippin' 'eck Carl, you didn't hang about. I've only got as far as opening the box and looking at the stuff I bought yesterday.
Good start though.

This was a great find and looking forward to following.

Cheers Ken

Looks good so far Carl. The shape of the iris of the eyes look good. Maybe lighten the shadows of the eyes a wee bit. Also for me his lips look a bit plum coloured like he's a tad cyanosed, might want to pinken them a bit perhaps. Otherwise looks very promising.

The eyes are very nice. Have a nice distant stare without looking vacant or unfocused.

Carl, eyes and flesh look very nice IMO. I agree about the lips though, a bit dark for my tastes. Keep us posted!

Great stuff Carl.

Love the flesh tones and shading, it gives that sense of "pop" which we all try to acheive.

This is not my era but I am looking forward to seeing this progress.

Cheers
