Every one deceives with a mask. Check out how I see those sinful people :V A Deceiver's Mask ~ I also did an Ink version out of it ~ A Deceiver's Mask ~ Ink Version ~Enjoy :3
A magnificent work, as always, Taffy. An amazing concept, your surreal drawings really grab my attention. Your penciling is great, though I'm confused as to where the lighting is supposed to be when the shading is random. Though, your smudging is fantastic, how it really gradates from dark to light perfectly. My only problem is the line variation in your inking. The lines go from a lighter touch, to a sudden stronger accent, disrupting the flow, and creating irregularities in thickness. Try to control the strength of your hand to overcome this problem. The shading also needs a bit of work. It's a little bit sketchy, and the lines are a bit curved. Crosshatching is the best way at shading in inking. Also, crosshatching requires straight, and consistent lines, so try to at a moderate pace. I won't say anything about the anatomy of the person being out of place, but it is better understand it more than you know. It isn't really necessary to learn about it, but the better you get, the better you already are. I don't really know if I'm making any sense, so sorry if I'm the one confusing you. Also, May I ask what kind of pen you are using?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CRITIQUE <33 I will look into what you said above and you are quite right with the shading. You made alot of sense, but not confusing me at all. <33 What I have used were those old ink pens, where you place the tip in a bottle full of ink. Something similar to this one > (Link) :3
Ohmygod, that pencil drawing. ♥ Amazing, detailed, interesting, LOVELY shading. I'm not feeling the inked one that much, it looks less professional (probably because of the uneven lines) and loses a lot of potential without shading as good as in the pencil one.
