If you were leaving this as a sketch i would go back in and try to put more detail into the hair. The sketch looks a little flat right now (which is very easy to fix by adding colour or more dark and light contrasts) The head is closer to you than the body therefore the head should have darker lines and highlights than the body. It's kinda harder to write it out rather than show you but if you have been doing this for a few years you probably understand what i'm talking about.
I can't wait to see the final painting   |
I know what you mean when you say flat. I have been trying with the hair. I think more contrast would be good. I'm leaving this one as a sketch. I will go back and add more detail. Also my sketchbook leaves an open crack on the scanner and it puts shadows in there. Maybe I should take a picture??
