Came back from the Christmas holidays sporting a 'new year, new approach' attitude, so I carried on with my character design but I tried to try a looser technique, which is a difficult approach for me. I carried on from my earlier head base (below) and carried on working into it, I spent ages working in the skin tone and texture focusing on where the light would be coming from etc.
After working in actual facial features in more detail and adding hair etc, all that was left was the eyes, I have been putting this off for quiet a while as im really reluctant to do them because I really struggle with them and i didnt want to ruin the piece. So I studied lots of eye sketching tutorials on youtube and from some ImaginFX magazines that I collect religiously and did a few rough sketches which on there own, weren't too bad (if I say so myself) it finally came to the time where I couldn't avoid it any longer so I started on the eyes and as i predicted, they sucked and I ruined the piece (below)
He looks ridiculous the eyes are really wonky, despite my best efforts to get them to look the same without copying and pasting one eye. The eye on the left is by far the better of the two, I think the eyebrows are adding to the overall 'wonky' look to. Close up though, the eyes are quiet realistic in the sense of colour and shape (apart from the obvious lol) quiet happy with the hair on a better note
