This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

The face is lopsided. You can see this thanks to the double red line. It goes through the chin but not the middle of the forehead. The entire right side (our perspective) is higher. Especially the eye will trigger the "something is off" response. The shadow to both sides of the neck suggest light from the top/front, but then the nose would need appropriate shadow as well. The mouth sits too low on the face.

I recommend using the Loomis method to learn how to draw the shape of heads. You need to understand the mass you are drawing, not just single parts of the face. Right now, you are guessing shadows and placements based. Google Loomis, it's a very popular resource for learning to draw faces and heads. Loomis also shows very cartoonish variants, which is more in line with what you are going for (rather than realism), which I think could help.

You’re sweet, I would have said. “Yeah, this is artshare, not critiquemyart, but thaaaasanks. Haha

I’m not an artist myself, and I’m crosseyed, so perspective is lost on me. I just like it.
