A study session for lightning and shadows on the face of a woman surprised

User Image

Might keep the study with other poses and angles gonk

Between 0 and 10, how bad is it?

i think it's really great actually. smile

The only thing (if I'm going to be picky about it wink ), is the line that you've created with the shadow of her cheek just below her eye. I would suggest softening it a little to make it seem more like a soft change in the direction of the planes of her face in that area. As it is now, it seems a little too angular.

Also, her nose seems a bit small. I think the line of her nostril should come a little further back.

Other than those two picky things, it's quite lovely and soft. *thumbsup* ^_^

I'm sorry, the shoulder and neck part bothers me. It looks like she barely has a neck then she has these tiny shoulders. It makes her head look massive in comparison. Also the eyebrows should have some sort of an arch to them. They're just a straight line right now.

And where's the rest of her hair for the other side of her? Heck, where's her other shoulder? You should still be able to see it.

As for lighting. If the light is coming from face on, as it looks like in the picture, then there should be a shine on her nose, chin and forehead as well.

hmm, you're right about the shoulder but since I was originally going to cut the image off around the chin I never put much attention to the neck, but damn! it looks weird xD

the shadows for the strands of hair bother me. It seems like the strands are away from her face (a couple of inches it seems) but it also looks like top one is being overlapped, but it has a shadow...
I don't know if it makes sense sweatdrop

Yes it does but those are because the opacity of the brush lol, they were not meant to be shadows sweatdrop

The hair does not leave any shadows on the face...although it NEEDS to ninja

excelent shading its so good it distracts the audience from the poor anatomy
the distance between the end of the chin and start of the neck is too short
either her cheeks have been beaten in or she has a triangular jaw coz her nose mouth area doesnt match up with the cheek
her bottom lips is kinda flat combines with the chin problem she looks a tiny bit retarted
but otherwise i think its great
the lighting and shading are awesome
and ive allways been a huge fan of greyscale pieces with a single colour focus

I think it looks like a really nice picture overall.

I think either her eye is too high or her head ends too soon... The eyes should be at the vertical center of the head.
The neck looks really weird... If her hair wasn't covering the rest of her head, where would the other side of her neck be around? I'm no master of necks, but it looks like she'd either have a really thick neck or it would be forwards too much.
