Artist's Comments

EDIT:// Changes made to his sweater and neck... I'll get back to his face later.

Robert Downry Jr. Homan.
I can't say I'm super ultra mega happy with this piece because the texturing just drove me up the wall, and I do hate wool sweaters...

Things I do like about this piece: his eyes, eyebrows, and arm hair. That's it.

I love his arm hair.

Facial hair wasn't in the ref pic, so I played it by eye based on his Tony Stark goatee.

Comments, critique, whatever are loved... I'll be playing around with this piece some more til it's right.

As always, your hair just amazes me. It looks completely imperfect, as hair is, and is rare in digital drawings. The arm hair is perfect, thick in places, thin in others, so realistic. The skin texture is a bit blurred-looking in my opinion, and we know he's old, so maybe a few wrinkles could be added? It bit more imperfections.

One thing that is difficult to draw in Mr. Jr. here are his eyes - he's got very pronounced lashes but are easily overdone into girly-ness. If that makes sense?

The clothes seems a bit drawn-and-colored and totally does not fit the feel of the rest, the realism. If you were to sharpen it a bit and remove the outlines, it would work better.

The Artist thought this was FAIR

hmm... I love the fact you did Robert Downy Jr., but theres something just not right about the whole image. i dont know what it is. it could be some of the proportions of the face, or its the eye spacing. Also the sweater (I know you hate it too) is fake looking

I must agree, though, that the arm hair is AMAZING!

as it stands so far i give it 4.2

Where is the love? Probably being kicked to death in a ditch somewhere by a group of yobs from Portsmouth.

very cool, and I'd critique, but this is better than most of what I draw, so it'd be an instant 100 lol.

Nice one doin the tony stark goatee lol, classic.

god gave us hands for a reason, to do what he did, create. that is how he created us in his image. we are the only species that creates just for the sake of creating, hence why we have art.
