I recently learned that I'll be gone from the 2nd to the 8th. Might be able to get on until the 5th, but after that I for sure won't be able to until I get back.

And, while I (finally) have a steady internet connection, There is a small possibility I won't get to post for Saturday because I'll be on a plane for half the day. Hopefully not, but just in case...

Don't worry about missing days, it's fine! Post whenever you can ^ ^ I know that it's a tall order to expect 20+ people to be around for all of 30 days.

Fanart of Antimony Carver from Gunnerkrigg Court, that I warmly recommend reading! I had thought this picture finished, but when compared to the WIP, I see that the middle of Annies face have gotten somewhat sunken in. Any tips on where to highlight/shade to bring it back out?

I would try to make the eyes pop out a little more as well as define the nose and cheek more with shading + light. I tried to show what I mean with the right one:

Thank you, I see what you mean. That shading and especially the shading on the cheek does make a difference! (Her ear is unfinished and her neck muscles slightly off, too. Funny what you notice when putting something away and then seeing it with new eyes)

Back in my drawing one class I had to the sink to my dorm as I found it. Never did get the professor's two cents on the thing, so what are yours?

The WIP:


I'd also move the nose a bit to the left: since it's a 3/4 profile, the right side of the face should be a bit more hidden.
EDIT: or actually, move the right cheek (viewer's left) a bit to the right, rather than moving the nose (which seems well-positioned relative to the other side)

Rhynerd: can't help you much, sorry :)

It's not a full 3/4, but aaaah you're right.
*looks up some more references of that angle*
*Tries to fix things according to advice*.
*Flips the picture horizontally, notices the whole eye placement mess*
Eye placement is my weakest point, I put so much more effort there than anywhere else, and also try to pay attention to every piece of advice and ref lines I have to get them where they belong, but still this happens when I construct faces instead of drawing from pictures. AAAA, that is unfixable for now, but thank you for the advice!


Rhynerd, lots of nice shading and attention to detail (and work!) on the sink. The only tip I can think of right now is that the shading near the left side of the sink makes the perspective look a bit inconsistent, as if the edge got narrower in front. The shining tap comes out especially well, I think.
