Wedding present

Hi Claudemir -

Here it is....boy, there's nothing like seeing it on the web to notice the things that should have been fixed!

Let me know what you see - I am seeing some, but would love to have confirmation. Thanks!

Hi Julie,
The right side (model's right side) of his right eyelash vanishes away in the shadows while his left eyelash is a little thicker than the original.
They are not following the same line, the right eye is larger than it should be. There's also a little area with too much light below his right eyebrow.
Some minor corrections only, the drawing is great!

Hi Julie. If I may, the shaded eye needs more flesh above it to make it smaller. Also the whites of that eye need to be bigger to reduce the size of the iris.

I love the way you have handled the corners of his mouth. He has such a cute smile & you captured it beautifully.

Thanks, Tricia and Claudemir-

I wish I could go back and make these corrections, but the deed is done. Still, it helps to have feedback in order to do better next time.

Your comments hit on the same things I saw, so I feel good. Even though I didn't fix these in time, at least I can see with my own eyes what the problems are and get confirmation of them by you helpful fellow artists.

This was a rush job - it was for my nephew and his bride. Due to time restrictions, I had literally a day and an evening to take pictures and complete it.

With the time constrictions, I believe you've done a very fine job. I'm sure you would've taken the time to double and triple check if allowed, but some of the problems are so minor that it will still be enjoyed for many years to come.

This drawing is lovely, and fresh. The larger view looks fresher than does the close up. Overworking is the danger with drawings like this. Critiques are OK for future reference, but I wouldn't change a drawing after it is done. Let the learning pass to the next drawing. Chalk it up to experience. In this case, a good experience.

Lovely Julie, this will certainly be a treasure. I just wonder if the parents will be fighting for it to hang in their homes!

I see some prints in production here!
