DarthVogt, that nose is gorgeous! Absolutely amazing... hypnotized The shading looks very realistic.

The only part that slightly bothers me is the left eye. It seems just a hint too big. Still, both of them (especially the right one) are quite good. And since this assignment isn't about the eyes, I think you did very well! applause

shock That was fast!
Overall, you all did great!
So here's my concrit, I tried to make it more "con" and less "crit" so I'm sorry if I offended anyone. blush But you guys can all get me back when I post mine. tongue

Vogt: grin Overall shading on the face is good, it's in all the right places, but it should be a little softer. Nose is perfect! Really great! If I had to find something wrong with it I'd say that where the bridge of the nose meets the left (darkside) nostril, you should maybe blend that main shadow.

Odj: The angle of the nose is a tiny bit off, not terrible but it makes if more difficult. You should be able to see the middle part of the nose underneath. As for the bridge, not much you can do there unless you want to make most of the face a shade darker so you can highlight it.

Ennth: The right(Jacen's left) side is shaded perfectly. But as you said the size is a little off. grin

Pie: The shading inside the nostril is perhaps a little too sharp towards the front. And you could shade the cheek behind the nose a little more but other than that the shading is great.

I'm gonna go through these a couple at a time and I'll start with DarthVogt and odj.

DarthVogt:

Since this assignment was more aimed at the nose, I'm going to just focus on that and leave the rest of the face for now. Overall, I think you did a real nice job. The left side of the nose in particular is well rendered. You did a nice job building up the tonal values and bringing that into a highlight. The only thing I would watch is the way you outlined the corner of the nose going into the nostrils. It appears a little too dark and I would soften that up a bit. The cast shadow on the right side of the face is also a little harsh. Soften that up and blend that into the face a bit more and I think you should be good to go. happy

odj:

Again, I will only be focusing on the rendering of the noses and nothing else. In the Jaina one, I have to agree with Ghent that the angle of the nose is a bit off. I believe this is due to the fact that you have the tip of her nose leading directly into the nostril when there should be some space where the center of the nose meets the philtrum. The same can be said where the side of the nose meets the nostril. You need more space to indicate that it is actually tucking under to form the nostril.

Moving onto Jacen, I think you did a good job with the shading. The only distracting thing about that is the hard line you drew on the left side where it should all be built up by tonal values. Soften that up and I think you should have a nice transition into the highlight. The size of the nose as a whole, however, is a bit off. Widen the nostrils a bit(as a general rule of thumb, the side of the nose usually lines up with the pupil of the eye) and indicate the center of the nose by adding a bit of a shadow just above the philtrum. Right now it's reading as if the highlight on the bridge of his nose is extending down to his upper lip when that's not the case. Hope that helps! happy

Here's my first attempt at the noses. The left (Jaina's right) eye isn't quite right and the shading could be better, but I'm pretty happy with the nose. And luckily, that was the most important part in this assignment.



Ghent: I have two pictures for the first assignment. Would you mind if I posted them here for concrit, even though the due date is long gone?

Sure, no problem. shhh Don't tell anybody I let you though. tongue




angry If DRL isn't the most annoying thing on the planet he's pretty close. That made no sense. tongue

Anyway, I feel really stupid but I probably won't be able to post any art this lesson. blush I'll be very busy.

Aleria: applause Very nice! The shading is perfect! Just maybe a little lighter on the nearer side if her nose, so that the shadow in her eye-socket is more distinct. But other than that it's fantastic! grin

Okay, I'll get in on this one. My noses could use some work. I too often fall back on just cartoon-y little "v's".

I didn't realize how small I'd done this until I zoomed out. Oops.

But the full image:


And a close up of the nose:
