I found this amazing instagram account (@earthsworld) with great shots of human heads, with amazing lightning and expressions. If anyone knows any other sources of great references to practice i would apriciate if you share.
Also feedback is welcomed.
Hey Alexey,
I like that your doing these, I have seen this guys stuff on Instagram too. I will say that the old guy in the cowboy hat is your best. The other ones though suffer from the random brushstrokes that you use to lay down your color. It's good to have expressive brushstrokes, but they should still be describing the form and have a unified look to them. If not, it confuses the observer because its hard to see the form.
I did a quick and dirty paint over your first image to show you how you can unify your values a little to help describe form better. I hope this helps :)
Hi Steve thx a lot for feedback. Yea the form isn't described well you are right. Was mostly focusing on likeness and didnt described form that well thats for sure.
I love earths world!! It is so useful to find great and interesting references. Another place I like to go is a website called line of action. They have all kinds of references for people and even hands and feet too. It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t been on there before.
Hi Hudson! indeed earthsworld is great. Thx for the suggestion, never been to this web site. Gonna definitely check it out.
