Full figures
I feel that I need to incorporate more shadows and work more on the faces.
Full Figure- Weird Medium
In the first one I used mascara. In the second, I used black eyeshadow. I feel the first one is successful due to the shadows but the head is too far to one side. The second one is successful in that the body and the head are better proportioned but some of the shadows feel too square.
Hi Jamie- nice work, I agree- more value in the shadows. You're starting to get there, but these are still very light. Have you ever made a value scale using pencils before? It might help you make the leap. So divide a 2" wide strip of paper into 1" segments, and fill each segment using a pencil. Make each segment progressively darker- so the first will be very light, and the last as dark as you can make it. Try and make the difference between each rectangle "equal"- so they darken an equal amount per square. It might help you get more comfortable making darker marks. Of course, using them in faces is another challenge entirely, but it could be a useful exercise for developing value.
