Artist's Comments
A study of Ernest Friedrich August Rietschel's Bust of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. I'm slowly working my way through CG Talk's Anatomy Lesson Series which is basically where you try to do 50 studies from master drawings in a month of either the head or torso. It's taking me a lot longer than a month because I'm completely unfocused and I'm constantly drawing other things, but since I don't have a scanner, I can't really get those uploaded.
I am still without a tablet pen, so this entire thing was done in Photoshop with the mouse. I spent about two hours total on it. Critiques encouraged but I probably won't update it, my hand hurts too much. I see a few glaring errors but I'm satisfied with what I've accomplished tonight, overall. |

"Each day I go to my studio full of joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the morning to come... if I cannot give myself to my dear painting I am miserable." - William Bouguereau
As it stands, you can always go back to it later since your hand is tired, and rightfully so. Silly mouse.
The whites seem a bit too harsh to me so maybe dim those a bit, as well as create a softer background. The harsh black doesn't do much to enhance your bust.
The shadows are good but I'd like to see them smoothed a bit more and work a bit on the ear to shape it and make it solid, unless the hair is covering it.
Hope it helps.
I guess later I should define the ear to make it more distinguishable from the hair. Thanks!
