Artist's Comments

This is part of a series of self-portraits done for my final in Life Drawing class at Digipen. :] The theme for this one is Fear.

Done in Charcoal on Pastel Paper :]

Critiques


:iconkumita:
You have captured the aspect of fear very well here. There is no doubt that the subject is terrified of something. The harsh lighting adds to the effect. The attention to detail adds to the subtle greatness of this piece; the detail of the right eye, the loose strands of hair, the lips and teeth, and the creases in the forehead are wonderfully rendered. There is a softness to your control of the charcoal that is great for the subject matter. I also love how the eye on the left side of the face becomes the focal point of the piece as everything around it is slightly blurred, but the eye is very sharp and clear. This render is now my favorite from you gallery.

Oooh, out of all the ones you posted, this is definitely my favorite. The lighting on it's gorgeous. Gotta love some chiaroscuro! And the way you did the one eye (the one in the light) is freaking gorgeous. The same with the hair.

Let's see... The thumb on your right hand (our left) looks a LITTLE odd... Maybe it's too small? Hmm. The whole hand actually seems a little off. It might just be the angle, but that's what I'm seeing. Other than that, I'd maybe tighten up the wrinkles on the forehead and you'd be set.

Overall that's a daaaaaaaang good piece. Holy cow. I'm incredibly impressed. O_O And I wish I could do stuff like that. I'm not patient enough with charcoal. >.o

Pepper looked Tony sternly in the eye. She then, without losing face, pulled her shirt over her head, tossed it aside, and pointed sharply at her chest. "Boobs, Mr. Stark."
