Hair Therapy 3

So I saw this hairstyle in a sketch someone did on Deviantart and had to try it for myself. It looked a little complicated, becuase it had to be purposefully messy. Also, I hardly ever draw people with their hair tied up in buns/ponytials. So this was new for me. The sketch took me a couple of hours, and then I did some sloppy coloring on GIMP for the fun of it.







Any comment/advice/critiques would be extremely helpful! Thanks!

I'm not sure if you wanted the face reviewed as well as the hair here... now that was something I never thought I'd say/type!

The hair has been done really well and I like the texture on it. The face is good but the right side (as you look at it face on) seems a little flat? It may just be me though. Oh, and I think the first colouring looks better, the second shade of hair doesn't really match the skin tone of her face.
Hope I helped a little!

Awww!! I love it! I wanted to like it thrice!
The first drawing...
I like the eyes the most. They're so attractive. I can even detect that tiny glint in them. You're improving at an alarming rate! I'm even more inspired. You've made each strand of hair so perfectly and her lips look pretty neat. (I think you can do pretty good in realistic drawings as well)
Now on to the second drawing...
I still love the eyes the most. The glint is more detectable here. (No, the eyes are sparkling!) She looks sort of innocent. Your work shows that you've put great effort into it. Each strand of hair is visible and perfect. No faults here! The orange color looks beautiful on her.
The third drawing...
Did you do something to her eyes here? They look mysterious and more eye-catching than the last two. The hair is so shiny here. Her skin color definitely suits the red hair. The skin tone is brighter. I'd say, I love all three but I loved the third one best! Do post more drawings soon. Keep it up!

Hiya there BlackSheep.

So, I love your Hair Therapy drawings and when I saw this one I have to admit I was kind of excited. I think it turned out pretty well.... Anyways, onto the review part of this review.

Pencil Drawing:
So, this is the base of the other ones... I like her haughty look but the shading on the left side of her face is really weird. Also her nose looks almost indented in on the bridge.
Her eyes are well done; usually I would point out the somewhat cloudiness of them but contrasting with the detail of her hair they look nice. I also LOVE her eyelashes and eyebrows - I thin you did awesomely with those, they're really nice. But... Look at her right eye, then her left. Her right eye is not straining as much to look to the right. You might want to realign the left eye to not look to the right as much (maybe not even show some of her eye's white but just move it back a bit), or have the right eye be looking more to the right (so that it reaches all the way into the right corner of her eyes and shows barely any or no white).
Her jaw is really angular. Like, REALLY angular. You might want to try and smooth it out, just a smidge (or maybe a bit more).
You could do the inside of her ear a little be more detailed and it seems maybe a tiny bit too small but it would probably look too big if you made it bigger XD.
Her chin juts out a little unnaturally because of the line on the left side of her face that you used to define it. Probably if you made the line shorter it'd look a tad better.
Ok, now for the hair.
Her hair looks really good. I think this is a great Hair Therapy drawing with relevance to hair. The only thing I would add to it is more lines. If you look at Hair Therapy 2 the girl has great lineage in her hair and it really helps to define the hair and make it more real. Think about it: when you look at someone you don't see chunks of 50 strands of hair - they're all separated and free. So, if you do that then her hair will be perfect.

Golden-Blonde Drawing:
Great job with this one. Although I like the red better, this one is really nice too.
What is that little squiggle under her ear? A bit of loose hair that's curled? Maybe you should define it more if it is loose hair, or erase it if it is just a mistake.
Also, the shading on the left side of her face next to her nose is worse in this one. It now looks more like a bad mess up that you tried to cover but couldn't. Like when you use a black marker, realize you made a mistake, and try to cover it with light brown.

Red Drawing:
I LOVE her pale skin in this. Also her eye and hair color, they look nice together
Anyways, same nitpicks as in the Golden-Blonde. The little squiggle and the left-side-of-face shading.

All in all:
Loved them! Please, please, PLEASE do more Hair Therapy! I really enjoy reviewing it!

Keep drawing,
Alzora

Ohhh you amuse me ;P

I love it! It's such a different style and I don't know what the original picture that you used was, but I'm sure the hairstyle is dead on, because it looks amazing from my end of the computer ;P

Now, I'm not sure if you just wanted a review on the hair, or if you wanted a review on the entire thing in general, but let me just say, (with no offense intended, seriously) but that is one attractive tranny you got there! XD Bahahahaa sorry, but the face is just... extremely masculine, and... is that some stubble? Looks like tranny man forgot to shave this morning ;P (just kidding)

Okay, now that my being a tard face is over... ;P
I love the coloring of the hair. Like always! You seriously have some freaky magic drawing powers when it comes to hair. It's always perfectly shaded and perfectly highlighted and it always looks so soft and real-ish!! I think I like the light orange hair best. The red one just kind of flaunts the tranny aspect, for me.... anyway, the eyes are amazing, too! I know everyone already said this, but you make the eyes look so real and 3D and... well... SPARKLY!!! XD I seriously don't know how you use GIMP so well.... I'm jealous!! Haha

Actually... now that I think about it, I DO like the deep red hair, as well. It kind of reminds me of Cat from Victorious, and yes, I'm going all nerd on you. Anyway, it looks cute with both hair colors ;P like I said, that is ONE. ATTRACTIVE. TRANNY. ;P

(Just soften the jaw and chin, and thin out the lips a bit more. I kind of feel bad for repeating my "tranny man" line ;P)

Haha okay, I'm done, I'm getting out of your hair now!! .... PUN NOT INTENDED!! (but it was funny, right? I know you're smiling, I'm so easy to smile at! EVERYONE LOVES ME!! O_o)

(P.S. DID YOU SEE MY SNAZZY NEW BADGE?!?! XD and yes, I'm in the bragging mood)

Hey xxTheBlackSheepxx !

I must say, they're fine but I think they're are some parts where it was a bit flat.

You're drawings...

1st Drawing (Sketch)-When I first saw the picture I was like 'Wow!". I loved how you designed you're hair and it's pretty cool! ^.^ But I think the lips were a little over shaded. It's look really ugly and I was quite disappointed because mostly the smile and stuff are the most important feature that makes a women beautiful. Even the hair but I think the hair is amazing! The shading, everything's fine! But it's a good idea to make changes of it!

2nd Picture (Edited)- The second picture was REALLY Messy! The eyes looks messed up, the hair which you maybe prefered to give a shiny golden color turned out to be really yellow. It didn't come out really well and not much naturally. Sorry but I think you have to work on this one :S And also the face where you've given the shading looks like you smudged it there? No offence, but try to change it.

3rd Picture (Edited)- I LOVE THE HAIR COLOR! Red! Very orignial and natural! <3 The eyes are lovely looking blue but the right eye should have needed darker eye lashes! The hair too was a little flat. But it's not much noticed though. ^^

Good Job!
Overall, it's amusing how you edit stuff! x]

I would give this a 7/10
Keep Drawing!!! You have amazing talent! xP

PM me when you submit new drawings/photography! I would love to review them!

Cookie and LM

Wow! You really did a great job on this one!

I really like the level of detail that you've placed into this, it's a really great work which emphasizes a lot on the hair. I like the last one, the color of her hair seems to be very harmonious to the color of her eyes. The symmetry of her face is well balanced and those eyebrows are well placed. Those little pimples (are they really pimples?) on her face give this a really addition to the detail.

The only problem I could think of is that the shadow on the right side of her nose seems to look like a smudge in the last and final draft. But this really doesn't compromise the quality of your work.

Great job! Keep on drawing.
