[Art] Nicole Draws Pictarz

[Nicole Artist]

I didn't like my old thread so I made a new one shhh
I typically draw cute things so naturally, my first image won't be cute.
Have an Utsuho

I'll take requests if I like the idea enough

Also Ill post pictures on here from time to time. Most will be touhou, some may not be, but you will probably be flooded with sketches.

The major thing that seems to catch my eye is that the facial features appear to be misaligned with the head's rotation. I believe it's mostly due to how the chin is positioned.
Something seems strange about the lower jawline and neck as well.

[Nicole Artist]

Well heres the sketch. I think all the details on the face are placed on correctly. Just maybe the mouth is off and throws the rest off. (this is a newer style for me, so I am prone to make errors while I draw faces this way until I master it, but its easier to draw ears this way for me and to get a better face shape every time)

I would agree the neck looks a little weird though, maybe going too far to the right, but welp, I can't fix it now :V

EDIT
I made a sketch for a new picture. Now you can tell me everything I did wrong before I outline and color it so i can fix it :V

Here, I drew over a few things in black to help get you on the right track. The head looked kind of off at first, and I realized what was wrong after I began tracing the basic shape of the head. Instead of placing the hat right on top of her head as if it were flat, you should draw the brim curved. Your facial proportions aren't bad, but the head is a bit big for the rest of the body.  It might look less weird if you draw wider shoulders, but some artists draw them just past the width of the head. You can also consider making the chest wider to make the proportions look better. Good luck!

[Nicole Artist]

Ahh, your just a tad too late, because I just finished the flat colors (procrastinating, and lineart takes me a long time with digital images)
But Im going to keep all your points in check for next time I draw her though (because I draw yuyuko all the time shes my favorite)
There is also a little art to doing shoulders with proportions that I had drawn a guide to before.
But alas, Im just fond of drawing smaller shoulders when I can. It makes me happy somehow. :V (also I have a harder time keeping proportions in check when its just a bust/headshot image)

[Nicole Artist]

Look I actually finished it

I do like the colour job. Her facial expression demonstrates surprise or pessimistic shock...a little ambiguous.

It does seem her arms are dissolving into the background, however.

Dissolving yes good. That was the goal. Picture of Yuyu with a hint of surreal.
