Worlds earliest wip: (starting in black/white)




Photoshop CS6

Fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap...

I love the facial features, I don't really see a Samurai yet but the face looks amazing. If you would make the other eye scarred that would look cool, everything here seems perfectly shaped, I'd like it if you keep the face grey and uncoloured, gives a sexy presence... Unlike other artists who use completely just meaty* colours. Keep up the good work!

Thanks man

Im going to bring out the samurai by making a white headband with a red sun in the center !!!

bamp

you started well.


in the image are some points.

on the eye, normally the inner corner of the eyes goes below the upper lid highest spot, You will see it looks better after you do.

in the mouth, you need to understand face muscles, the muscle that I drew an arrow is lifting the upper lip up and making wrinkles in the nose.
you drew a empty face and it is lifting the upper lip, looks weird.

about the concave shading on the cheek, you need to get the bones that forms the cheek, you did that roughly, get a real photo reference and copy some features in the style you want, it will help.

About the forehead, the wrinkles right there are going one direction, you made they turn down after going in, that isnt what it should be in real life.

keep working on it and you will learn the basis.

Honor. Harsh Training.

That means make sure to have sharp, chiseled facial features that are in that "disappointed Asian dad" kind of frown.

And lay off those eye bags. You can make him look grizzled without making him look exhausted, eh?

Keep at it!

(Asians usually don't have blue eyes. Maybe eyes as silver as steel or just plain brown. But Asians don't really have blue eyes.)
