Hi. domokun Nice to be here. This seems like a cool place. This is a drawing of one of the musical artists that I respect the most, Ben Folds. It was done completely in Adobe Photoshop CS2, by mouse. I drew a photograph, but no parts were C+P'd or traced or anything. I'm kind of a beginner in drawing faces so that explains its overall suckiness, but please give me constructive criticism so I can improve. I know it doesn't look much like him but it's as close as I could get.  I worked from this photograph, credit to sonymusic.co.kr: http://www.sonymusic.co.kr/files/Artist/picture/b/1.jpg- Chloe heart heart

Peach tones.
Use less peach tones. I mean, there's a lot of things to be said about this image, mostly stemming from anatomical inconsistencies, but the thing that stood out to me the most was use less peach tones.
More importantly, though, try getting better at forms before you go to photoshopping them.

In General, skin is not a uniform color. Different areas of the face have varying degress of red yellow and blue tones.

To illustrate, check out the tones in your reference picture. See all that variation? There's reds, light browns, dark browns, etc etc... in your picture you only have light peach and dark peach, and not nearly enough dramatic shading. 3nodding

Thank you very much. I knew when I had my result that it wasn't nearly as shaded as the picture, I just didn't know how to achieve it. Any other suggestions or comments..?

Give him a bit more of a jaw (such as the reference).
The eyes are a bit far apart as well (one eye space between).
Keep going. biggrin

Sometimes it helps if you make a rough sketch and block in the darks as dark as they look in the image. it's not very good for making an image look three-dimensional, but it can help you understand lights and darks when used in a reference.

the structure of the face doesn't really look like his, yours is pretty round, where as his is more...different.

Tsugari the structure of the face doesn't really look like his, yours is pretty round, where as his is more...different. Yeah, I noticed that he definitely has more of a square jaw.. or an oval head.. or something. It probably is a good idea for me to really make the outline as good as it can be before coloring it... I've learned a lesson. 3nodding
