hello i'm James!
wow you really know how to work with clay1. well i think it symbolizes the double quality of art. it shows that people or things are sometimes two faced. as in good or evil advantage or disadvantage! i think its good enough you should add dull colors or at least but a smile on them. one good nature other evil. well i cant judge that.

Hmm, how did you get them to stand up? I can't see any flat places in the second picture. Other than that, I think you should study the human face a little more. Your guy here has little to no cheekbones: quite literally, his nose is a mountain and the rest of the face slopes down from there. It really should go up a little higher on both sides of the nose.
Also, in the second picture I can't see any chin, which is weird, since the first picture looked like it had one. Did you make any changes between taking the pictures?
The lips are just...wrong. It's a guy, so those two little 'hills' need not come up so high, in fact, try making his lips more subtle and thinner, or else it looks like he's puckering up to kiss somebody.
The eyes are good, especially the way you left them hollow, but the edges aren't very clear-cut, and the eyebrow arches are messy.
Overall, it's a good piece, but I'm not going to lie to you: you should consider it a practice piece. Besides that, you did a wonderful job.

Hey there! Nice to meet you...now on to the review. xD

Well, first of all, these aren't anything spectacular, but they aren't too bad, either. They just have a whole lot of flaws that need fixing! I know clay is hard to work with, but keep in mind, when you are doing a human, you need to make their face realistic.

Your clay faces have disproportionate noses, and no cheekbones whatsoever. The shape of the lips is...disturbing, really. Lips are normally full and much softer looking. The cutting of the eye is very messy, and leaves something to be desired. The eyebrow arches are quite frankly barely there, and odd-shaped, messy, and--I think you should start over on these clay faces, maybe with a picture of two human faces that you can go by!

Nice, and keep practicing.
