Also, digital advice:
www.ctrlpaint.comCan't comment on the big ass image since it takes too long to load even a part of it, but from what I've seen of the head, it's best to use hard edged brushes when blocking in colors, atleast for me. Gives a much better definition of the body, then again I used to use soft brushes all the time, but eventually I made the transition, it was hard at first but after a while I can't see myself using them for anything but some shading or highlighting X)
And a welcome to stickadtroja, you have a nice style, I would love to see more of your stuff
And to finish off, I was doing an old man, somewhat used a reference, he didn't come out that great (but I'm not much of a face person so it's to be expected a bit), and there are a few issues nagging me that I can't wrap my head around. Mainly the mouth is fudged in a way I can't seem to fix no matter how I move it or adjust it, the left side of his face too, especially the eye, can't get it to look good so I just kinda smudged it around and tried to hide it :S
The head is also a bit wierd in shape but I think it's because of failed perspective on my part and numerous resizings.
Anyways, advice on possible solutions anyone?
